Waterville is across the river from Entiat and you climb 2600 feet up into the high wheat fields.
The two towns are, I think about 10 miles apart.
Entiat's elevation is 800 feet, so you see that you make a steep climb in a short distance.
Out of curiosity I checked the depth of the two earthquakes.
Entiat depth: 2.4 miles
Waterville depth: 5.3 miles
I googled to try and find some info about fault lines in Washington State but came up with a blank.
I assume there must be a fault line running through that area.
