Quake memories?
Monday marks the 10th anniversary of the Nisqually earthquake. The 6.8-magnitude quake struck just before 11 a.m. on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2001, and caused one death, 407 injuries and considerable property damage in the Puget Sound area.
The Herald is looking for recollections of that day. Where were you?
Please send your stories and photos to sheets@heraldnet.com by 9 a.m. Friday.
