I was in a store near the Pike Place Market when it hit, and my first
thought was "logging truck going by" before I realized the odd of a
logging truck in that particular location was slim.

The bottles in the cooler wobbled slightly. I bought a 6-pack and
walked back to the hotel to watch the (non) coverage.

You must have been closer to the epicenter than I.

I remember thinking that I wanted to see "Almost Live" cover it. Now
that would have been funny! The local coverage would have made the
"Lame LIST!"

It would have made a great bit for "Mind Your Manners, with Billy
Kuan"...
