Felt worse.

There are several faults in the Seattle area and they're still finding new ones. I recognized the epicenter.
Same one as a mid 90's quake that was a shaker.

We also have 5 volcanoes- 3 that steam occasionally.

Edit: I think it came from the Southern Whidbey Island Fault Zone. The 90's quake was centered at the town of Duvall.I believe they extended the known fault line southeast from he island after the Duvall quake. (Whidbey Island is the larger of the two off the "Everett Basin"
