  • Mount Vernon - Felt like a boom
  • 98292 - around 2:20pm the house shook and made a loud noise. Street light was shaking when I looked outside a few seconds later. Kids said they didn't feel it.
  • Arlington Heights - Everything in the house was shaking, we could hear everything rattling around hard not lightly.
  • Stanwood 98292 - Shortly after 2pm, house started shaking - lasted about 7-8 seconds. Clearly an earthquake but nothing too alarming.
  • Arlington, Wa. - Significant sounding rattling of the house for two or three seconds. Very obvious. The thing that was different with this as opposed to other tremors that I've experienced was the sound. I thought something had fallen on the house. We initially thought that something had gone wrong with the construction on our property. Wood pile was knocked over and a sign near our home is now listing...the soil is still quite wet here.

  • Valparaiso - Just finnished my shower, I was at the 5th floor of a Hotel in Valparaiso and first heard the windows shaking, then felt dizzy and my knees weak, so I looked at the walls and they were oscillating. It was my first earthquake! Loved the experience only because nothing serious happened.
