The Pacific Coast. The ocean is wider and earthquakes are more frequent than elsewhere.

Hawaii is the state at greatest risk for a tsunami. They get about one a year, with a damaging tsunami happening about every seven years. Alaska is also at high risk. California, Oregon and Washington experience a damaging tsunami about every 18 years.
Did you know:
In 1964, an Alaskan earthquake generated a tsunami with waves between 10 and 20 feet high along parts of the California, Oregon and Washington coasts.
In 1946, a tsunami with waves of 20 to 32 feet crashed into Hilo, Hawaii, flooding the downtown area.
Tsunami Warning Centers in Honolulu Hawaii and Palmer Alaska monitor disturbances that might trigger tsunami. When a tsunami is recorded, the center tracks it and issues a warning when needed.

There aren't a lot but I'd say the Hawaii and Alaska? Most of the Volcanoes are in the Pacific Ocean so the tsunami they cause would hit Alaska, Hawaii, and maybe the West Coast.
