As if you don’t have quakes in Seattle!

Not very many, really, although there’s always a chance the subduction zone could let loose and kill us all.

We had the really wild Nisqually quake that had all the office buildings in Seattle swaying and knocked my MIL’s house off plumb, but there’s nothing like growing up in California.

I’m from the Walnut Creek/Concord area. Growing up there I didn’t wake up for anything less than a 5.5.

We have lots of tiny ones here is Wa. the news pops up and shows them once in awhile. some say it’s better to slowly release pressure on the fault than larger ones like the Nisqually we had here.
