- Descr: We wish to record an earthquake swarm under the city of Spokane
WA. This is an area that has little history of prior earthquakes but
there is a major NW trending fault zone (Latah fault) that follows the
Spokane river through the city. This is an opportunity to study the
precise locations and mechanisms of events in this region for which
little seismological information is available. The current swarm is
receiving a great deal of press because residents in the city feel events
as small as 2.0.
