Go big to go home

After seeing a couple more houses in Tacoma, I decided to make an offer on what I'll dub "The Oakes Tree." Here's more of The Oakes Tree in pictures:

Sleep: 1, Earthquake: 0

Maybe it was just me, or maybe it was the bottle and a half of 3-buck Chuck that Amanda and I downed last night, but I didn't feel any earthquake this morning. I slept peacefully through it.

The Seattle Times reports the 4.5 magnitude earthquake occurred at 5:45 a.m. this morning.

And who else besides me first heard about the earthquake from someone outside of Seattle or even out-of-state? News travels faster than natural disasters these days, I suppose.
