In the wee hours of the morning, a 4.5 magnitude earthquake shook the Pacific Northwest about 17 miles from Boeing’s Everett facility. Fortunately, there were no reports of any damage according to the Seattle Times.
The map to the right shows the location of the earthquake, which is near to the 6.8 magnitude quake that hit in 2001. Today’s brief earthquake’s epicenter was near Kingston, WA.
No word yet on if this morning’s shake qualifies as ground vibration testing for Dreamliner Two. </snark>
