The U.S. Geological Survey says it was a 2.8 magnitude quake.

There are no reports of injuries or damage.

Earthquakes occur nearly every day in Washington. Most are too small to be felt or cause damage.

According to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, Washington has the second-highest risk in the U.S. of these large and damaging earthquakes because of its geologic setting.
