If you did feel it, you can report what you felt at https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/uw61705566/tellus . The reports help scientists understand the impact of shaking from earthquakes and identify places that might be more at risk. That, in turn, helps focus response efforts after a more damaging quake.
