- On June 29, 1833, an earthquake shakes the Puget Sound region. William Tolmie (1812-1886), the young Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) doctor recently left temporarily in charge of Fort Nisqually, records the event in his journal. His journal entry is the first surviving eyewitness account of an earthquake in the region.
