'I would have gone with her': Ground rumbles under the
feet of UK student's mother traveling Wednesday in Seattle

By Jenni Miller
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

We were checking into the hotel. and the
ﬂoor just started rolling. The chandelier
crashed to the ﬂoor of the lobby a few feet
awav.

Tagalie Heister's words echoed through
her daughter‘s ears. Nancy Atcher. 20. an
art studio sophomore at UK. was supposed
to be with her mother in Seattle where an
earthquake disrupted the routine of daily
life at 10:54 am. PST Wednesday. Atcher
was born in the city. and her family visits
there often.

“I would have gone with her. but i had
tests today." she said.

The earthquake was reported at 6.8 on

logical Survey in Golden, Colo. The earth
quake hit 35 miles southwest of Seattle, ac-
cording to the National Earthquake Infor-
mation Center in Golden. It was the largest
quake to hit the region since a 7.1 quake
near Olympia that killed eight people in
1949.

The state’s Emergency Management Di-
vision tallied 272 people with injuries direct-
ly linked to the quake. but all but a few were
minor and none was considered critical.

The cost of Wednesday‘s quake contin~
ued to climb Thursday as crews checked
roads, bridges and buildings for damage. A
preliminary damage estimate reached $2
billion. according to officials. Most of the
damage has been cosmetic.
