Minor earthquake hits south Snohomish County
EVERETT — Residents in south Snohomish County were hit with a minor earthquake early Tuesday morning, geological data shows.
The magnitude 3.0 earthquake struck at 5:42 a.m. Tuesday in the Cathcart area of unincorporated Snohomish County, according to data from the United States Geological Survey and the University of Washington.
A magnitude 3.0 quake is just about the threshold at which people can feel an earthquake, researchers say. Damage from earthquakes would typically only occur somewhere above magnitudes 4 or 5.
Saturday marks the 25th anniversary of the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, which measured a magnitude of 6.8 and caused at least $2 billion in damage across the Puget Sound region.
