In the fall of 1889 several slight tremors were felt in
the Puyallup valley and in the regions immediately surrounding Mount
Tacoma, and in September, 1891, there were several small shocks
felt at Tacoma, but these were so slight that to my knowledge no
record has been kept of the dates or directions. |
