2.5 Earthquake in Seattle

A 2.5 earthquake just hit right in downtown Seattle at 12:11pm! I'm 3 miles away from it right now and unfortunately I did not feel it. The whole area has been pretty shaky lately, especially a bit north of Seattle with dozens of small (up to 2 magnitude) quakes in the last week or two. Perhaps a precursor of things to come!


Update:

The epicenter was changed to just 3 blocks away from my apartment by 1st avenue and Lenora, which Is where I park. Bummer I wasn't home. I wonder if Rocco felt it!


Update: another earthquake! Small one right by pioneer square in downtown Seattle. A 2.16 magnitude at 1:27pm.


Update: A third earthquake! This time in nearby Issaquah. 2.43 magnitude at 8:38pm. All of these quakes are by the Seattle fault line (SFL).
