Consider this a rare New To Seattle guest post, of sorts. Click here to read a story in the July 20 issue of The New Yorker by Kathryn Schulz. The not-so-understated headline:

The same geology that makes Seattle very beautiful also makes it very dangerous.
Which is why, albeit with a ridiculously high deductible, I carry earthquake insurance.
