3.4 quake at 5:21 a.m. Tuesday near a Seattle suburb
DUVALL, Wash. — A number of residents in the suburbs north and east of Seattle were shaken awake Tuesday by a small earthquake.
The University of Washington reports the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network recorded a 3.4 magnitude quake at 5:21, about four miles deep between Duvall and Carnation. Duvall is about 10 miles northeast of Bellevue.
There are no reports of damage. A U.S. Geological Survey website shows the quake was felt from Snohomish to North Bend, including Bothell, Kirkland, Redmond and Bellevue.
Residents told TV stations the quake sounded like thunder or a door slamming, and the shaking felt like a train or truck rumbling by, rattling mirrors, causing hanging lamps to swing and scaring dogs and cats.

A devastating earthquake will happen along the Oregon/Washington coast. We should be ready to go into an emergency mode to respond to an extreme situation there, because they won’t be able to help themselves.
