• Magnitude 4.2 Earthquake Near Gig Harbor Shakes Puget Sound, Among Washington's Strongest in About a Decade (natureworldnews.com) — A magnitude 4.2 earthquake struck just a few miles northwest of Wauna this week, rattling homes but causing no reported injuries or damage. Seismologists say it’s one of Washington’s stronger recent quakes and likely part of the Tacoma fault system, and emergency officials urge Wauna-area residents to treat it as a drill by securing heavy furniture, checking supplies, and reviewing Drop, Cover, and Hold On steps.
