Earthquake jolts Western Washington on Christmas Eve

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed a 4.0-magnitude earthquake hit Western Washington at 7:14 a.m. on Sunday, Christmas Eve.

The epicenter was located about four miles from Quilcene, the agency reported. The agency also noted Bremerton (23 miles away) and Victoria, British Columbia (46.4 miles), as “nearby places” to the tremor.

The earthquake also had a depth of over 32 miles (about 52 kilometers), according to the USGS and the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN).

As of 11 a.m. Sunday, the tremor had not spurred any messages or posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s U.S. Tsunami Warning System.
