On October 25, 2026 at 14:15 UTC, a magnitude 2.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 41 km WSW of Winthrop, Washington, at a depth of 2.9 km and coordinates 48.3110°, -120.6805°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 101 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 35 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
