Seattle Hit With 3rd Earthquake Within Last Twelve Hours...07/02/99
by Mitch Battros (ECTV)

I was at my computer terminal pecking away, when the lamps started to swing from the ceiling. This was the last (so far) of three earthquakes that hit the northwest area of Washington State. It has now been registered as a 3.5 mg. I started last night with a large 5.7 quake that hit 125 miles due west off the coast of Vancouver Island. Then early this morning a 3.3 mg quake hit near Seattle. And now as of the time of this writing - 7:01 PM (PST) a third 3.5 mg earthquake just hit. The quake lasted about 30 seconds. It was a quiet rolling quake which is of course different than the loud sharp edge type I am more familiar with.

Stay tuned for more as events unfold. I will post immediately to our breaking news page.
