The quake was
recorded 75 miles (120 km) west of Seattle, Washington at about
9 p.m. local time, according to the USGS website.
"As my youngest said, it felt like the washer and dryer turned
on," tweeted Megan Henry, a mother of three in nearby Tahuya,
Washington.
There were no initial reports of damage or casualties. No
tsunami was expected, the National Weather Service said on
Twitter.
