I was in my office in downtown Seattle and felt it strongly. I had to walk down 43 flights to leave the building and got home about 1.5 hours after the quake. My two cats were sleeping on the sofa and did not seem at all upset.

6.8 is a lot milder than 7.3 and maybe that is my cats took it in stride. I wish I had been there for them but they did manage okay by themselves.
