This warning was just issued.

This is Snohomish County Emergency Management with an emergency message. The National Tsunami Warning Center has issued a Tsunami Advisory for the Snohomish County coastline. Waves and strong currents may reach the County coastline later this morning but still uncertain. Impacts may last several hours. Be safe. Avoid Puget Sound beaches, waterfront area.

It is advised that no one is on their boat or the shoreline at this time. As a precaution consider seeking higher ground. The Port of Everett has opened its Waterfront Center Blue Heron Room and second floor lobby (1205 Craftsman Way, Everett, WA) for staff, boaters and community members interested.

We will provide an update once the all clear has been given.

Time to check the mooring lines. Assure you have enough surge line configured. Hope that the Dock does not rise above the piling.

Let us know the cause of this, when you find out, so we can issue a strong letter of protest .

Last night on Twitter the National Weather Service indicated they did not expect a tsunami from this event, but maybe that changed. Will be interesting to hear / watch what happens on the Sound. Personally, I expect nothing.

That's your opinion.

I came across this WA DNR simulation of a tsunami resulting from an earthquake along the Cascadia fault. Interesting.
