Send us a 2001 earthquake photo!
As we blogged about earlier today, this is the 10th anniversary of the Nisqually Earthquake, which shook much of Western Washington. Being the historical pack rats that we are, we’d like to collect more photographs showing the damage from that quake. If you have any photos from the Nisqually quake that you’d like to send us, we’d love to receive them. You can e-mail them either to Patrick McDonald at [email protected] or Brian Zylstra at [email protected] . If you do send us a photo, make sure to include “earthquake photo” in the subject line.
