As state and federal officials tally up the economic damages, geologists from the University of Washington Seismology Laboratory continue to gather scientific data about the quake.
Aftershocks are still a concern.
Geologists hadn't predicted any more quake activity after the major 6.8 quake just before eleven Wednesday morning. But two aftershocks rippled across the Puget Sound Basin this morning. The first, a 3.4 magnitude shock, occurred just after 1 a.m. Jarrick Bergsma is a researcher with the U.W. Seismology Lab. When we said we weren't expecting any aftershocks, that was based on previous deep-zone earthquakes that we've had.
