The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) reported a Magnitude 4.3 earthquake on Sunday, October 8, 2023 at 7:21 PDT. It was at a depth of 57km, 20.9 miles north from Poulsbo, Washington / 23.44 miles WNW from Everett. 

It was felt from Vancouver to Olympic, the length of Puget Sound.

But did you feel it? Some did, some didn't. Some dogs reacted and other didn't seem to notice or react. Don't ask your cat - they don't care.

PNSN would like to have you tell them whether you felt it or not. Here's the link

Folks may be wondering why they did not get an earthquake warning message on their phones. 

ShakeAlert did not send out a public warning because the quake was not big enough to meet the alert threshold. If they had, we would have had an 11 second advance notice.
