The Tsunami Warning Center reports the quake occured at 10:44 PST, with
an estimated magintude of 6.2.
Some web sites are down, such as www.seattletimes.com, but it appears to
be a localized issue. Seattle Public Library, King County Library,
Amazon.COM and Microsoft.COM all appear to be functioning.
I couldn't find any traceroutes through Sprint's network in the northwest,
but I don't know of any sites with only Sprint connectivity, so I don't
know about Sprint.
ATT, Cable & Wireless, and PSI appear normal.
I could reach parts of Qwest/USWEST, but I don't know their physical
network topography, so I couldn't tell if I was reaching Seattle or
somewhere else.
