Talk:1949 Olympia earthquake

Largest? How so?

The 2001 Nisqually quake was 6.8, 0.1 larger than 1949 or 1965. So why does this article claim it "is" the largest recorded here? --Haruo (talk) 17:47, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

yes largest! USGS says magnitude 71.

The USGS and most others call it a magnitude 7.1 I lived through both and the 1949 was huge compared to the others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug.wyman (talk • contribs) 22:06, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
