Are there any owners/caretakers of cob structures in the Pacific =
Northwest that can speak to how the buildings survived the temblor =
yesterday?  I am especially interested in knowing about buildings in the =
Seattle/Olympia area, which was near the epicenter.  Also, if you could =
speak about the foundation type and any structural strengthening aspects =
your building may have that would give a more complete picture.
Thanx
