Small earthquakes shake Western Washington

3.5 earthquake detected south of Sequim

NEAH BAY — A 3.2 magnitude earthquake struck about 17 miles off the coast of Neah Bay at 2:24 p.m. Tuesday.

No tsunami warning was issued after the quake, which was less than a kilometer deep. It was felt at least in Victoria.

The quake followed two that struck Western Washington on Sunday evening, one of which was centered south of Sequim.

A magnitude 3.5 earthquake was detected at about 11:25 p.m. Sunday, with its epicenter located about 4.3 miles south of River Road in Sequim at a depth of about 26 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

A shake map from the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network showed light shaking from the Sequim earthquake as far away as Port Townsend, Port Angeles and Oak Harbor.

Entries into USGS’s “Did You Feel It” map showed people reporting feeling shaking as far north as Nanaimo, British Columbia, as far east as Granite Falls and as far south as Olympia.

Also Sunday, a 2.7 magnitude earthquake struck less than a mile north of Monroe in Snohomish County at approximately 9:48 p.m. at a depth of roughly 23 miles.
