Here's a hard one for you. The building I live in isn't in the best of shape, the ceilings are sagging, the foundation is questionable, and quite frankly it's a death trap imo. At that point, seeeing as I have a full kit ready to go, dressed or no, does the threat of collapse outweigh the threat of falling debris?

Right where I figured the risk would be. Topography doesn't lie.

Secondary question. What's the overall stability of Finn Hill? Where I'm at (124th and 100th in Kirkland is basically facing the side I fear of collapse in a large quake, say Seattle or Cascadia. Any info from y'all on landslide risks thereabouts?

More questions then? So be it. As far as provisions go, does water filtration beat water in containers?

Considering the latest research, how big of a quake would be necessary to cause a small to moderate tsunami in Lake Washington?

A few years back we had a quake here in Kirkland. A 1-2 something about a 100 yards from my house. Seems like an odd place for one. Obviously small quakes are normal, but what causes little things like that in locations like that?

How does snow effect p and s waves and their effects?

Lastly for now, any eta on a public shake alert beta?
