Excerpts from a March 3rd Reuters news report:

Seattle Shaken by Temblor

An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.4 on the Richter scale struck at
9:04 p.m. PDT Thursday (12:04 a.m. EDT Friday) [March 2nd] and was
centered near Duvall, Washington, about 25 miles northeast of Seattle, 
said officials of the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, 
Colorado.  ...

The earthquake stopped a baseball game in downtown Seattle's Kingdome, 
where the hometown Mariners were losing to the Cleveland Indians 6-3
in the bottom of the seventh inning.  ...

Seattle Seahawks owner Ken Behring cited the potential earthquake
hazard as justification to break his 10-year Kingdome lease and move
the football team to California.

[ California is one of the most earthquake-prone areas in the world,
  much more so than Seattle. ]
