4.6 Magnitude Earthquake Rattles Seattle Area [VIDEO]

The Seattle Times reports:

A magnitude 4.6 earthquake shook Seattle and the Puget Sound region just before 3 a.m. Friday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey.

The shaking emanated from Three Lakes, Wash., about 9 miles east of downtown Everett. The earthquake was relatively shallow, and originated about 14 miles beneath the surface, according to a USGS map.

A tsunami is not expected, according to a tweet from the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center. A second quake, measured at magnitude 3.5, was reported near Monroe, Wash. a few minutes afterward.

It was only a 4.7, we gotta down play it or the other earthquake cities will think we’re not hardcore #SeattleEarthquake
