I also read that there was a minor earthquake days before the mudslide

nohomish County emergency management director John Pennington said a search of recent records discovered the small earthquake struck on March 10.

It remains unclear what role, if any, the quake played in the slide that struck two weeks later, on March 22.

"We have pushed message after message that there is high risk of a slide," said Pennington. "There has been warnings and advanced notifications."
