Show Notes
Twenty-five years ago, the Puget Sound region was rocked by a six point eight magnitude earthquake, causing significant damage and disruption. The quake, centered near Nisqually, was particularly hard on Olympia, where buildings cracked, sprinklers went off, and bridges showed major cracks. People shared raw reactions, with office workers diving under desks and high school students running for exits. Evacuations swept the city, leaving over a dozen buildings deemed unsafe and fifty-two apartment dwellers temporarily homeless. These firsthand stories resurfaced this week for the anniversary, reminding folks how training and quick thinking saved lives back then. Officials stress the importance of staying prepared in this seismic zone.
