Washington is Earthquake Country. Today is the anniversary of the Olympia #earthquake back in 1949. Do you remember the quake? Learn how you can get prepared for the next earthquake at mil.wa.gov/earthquake.

77 years ago—on April 13, 1949—a deep M6.7 earthquake shook up western Washington. Photographs from the Washington State Archives show some of the damage to Olympia. Similar earthquakes struck again in 1965 & 2001, and we are likely to see another in the next few decades: pnsn.org/education/pn...
