One article said they felt it in Canada!
I’m on the line of Kirkland and Redmond. But sitting on a hill of hard till, so that may be why I didn’t notice anything.

Just on the west edge of the city of Monroe. I believe that is part of the South Whidbey Island Fault zone.
A big offshore quake will flood Seattle
5 miles east of Seattle.
Did not feel anything - but my hard plastic bathtub made a “pop” sound that made me turn around and say “What the heck just happened?”
On a clear night, I can see Mount Rainier from the front door of my apartment building.
I’ll let you know if there is huge red glow around it.
There is a clear geologic and tree stump record of Puget Sound tsunamis going back several thousand years.
Also, if Mount Rainier ever erupts, trillions of tons of ice and snow would instantly turn to water and flow down hill into Tacoma.
Local news channels are saying the quake was a 4.6 and the epicenter was about 2-3 miles southeast of Lake Stevens.
The closest population center is Everett (which borders Puget Sound) about 8-10 miles west of the epicenter.
I didn’t feel it at all. Then again, I sleep like a log.

It woke me up. Fortunately I was able to get back to sleep. Have to go to work now.
Stay safe, FRiend.
hmmm.... that’s funny, I didn’t feel it.
