Transcription: EARTHQUAKE - At a quarter to 10 last night a sharp shock of earthquake was felt in this city. But few noticed it, but the few that did were very positive as to its character. It was also noticed to the north of us, at precisely the same time. At Snohomish City the shock was very marked.
