To update: MU Press is also A-Ok. Edd Vick, owner of MU Press, reports that the family, house, and cats all survived just fine.
Of the 13 buildings that have been red-tagged in downtown Seattle as unsafe to occupy because of the quake, one is the historic Interurban Building. The Interurban Building was built around 1917 and was the site of my coolest summer job in college, a tiny start-up software company that, eventually offered me a real job and where I worked right up until Cisco bought them out (the deal just closed two weeks ago). It was sort of sad seeing the poor old building surrounded by yello tape and with big red stickers on the doors.
Olympia suffered worse damage, with several more buildings red-tagged than Seattle's.
Officials at Woodland Park Zoo report that the elephant who very recently gave birth seemed to detect the earthquake about a half minute before the humans noticed. This is not surprising since we know that elephants can hear and communicate in the sub-sonic level.
