Seattle sits on the type of ground that would amplify the effects of an earthquake. Scientists can’t offer a firm prediction when the next one will happen… only the certainty that it will.

I remember this. I was working in Tacoma. What a bizarre sensation that was.
😦
This happened on my 21st birthday. I remember it well
I remember this quake I was in my college math class on the 6th floor when it hit
I lived in Eastern Washington at the time of this disaster. Even that far away it felt like we were rocking back and forth on a boat
its a shithole in the making these days
I remember this day all too well. I was babysitting three brothers on Bainbridge Island when this happened.
I remember hearing the Earthquake thinking initially it was my Washer out of Balance..Then I opened my front door and stood in the doorwell..Ironically our dogs were right on my tail. I went outside to check on my daughter playing in neighbors yard and seen there windows look like plastic rippling..
It stopped and asked my daughter if she was OK which she was w neighbor. Called my school where I worked as a Custodian and made sure they were all ok…Pretty scary for sure..)
I was born 3 days after this earthquake
0:33 That looked like George Lucas
I was at pier 36 (uscg base) when it happened. I watched my weld shop (built over an old pier) split in half and the weld table fell in the water below!
The Famous 6.8 magnitude earthquake
My city… Everyday is a blessing
Must be a wierd feeling living in Seattle knowing there's such a high risk of the entire city being distroyed in the next few decades 😨
February 28th, 2001
Ill never forget it, it was really a rolling quake, not super violent.
My dad told me a story about this
I was in math class when this happened.
Might be easier to accept if they actually pronounced city and major River names correctly.
Oh well, I looked at an earthquake map for east of Portland. Looks like we are ok here in Sandy, OR.
I was in 1st grade living in Gig Harbor when the earthquake happened. We were in the middle of class and all sitting at our desks when everything in the room started shaking.
I’ll always remember how well my first grade teacher handled the situation. Calmly, she just exclaimed “Oop, earthquake everyone! Everyone get under your desks,” as if we were just starting a new activity. She kept us all very calm.
I love seattle
I live right next to Seattle
Holy f
Hi

Who’s here from Oregon Earthquake 6.3 in the Pacific Ocean
The biggest danger about living in Seattle is that it's become a left wing shithole.
I searched for January 2001 Earthquake at Gujarat, India on Republic Day of India 01/26/2001
I live in Portland and felt it. I will always remember it because it was our anniversary.
9/11 happened after this quake
Well, don’t blame Texas, it wasn’t our fault!
