Sea-Tac Airport was ordered closed Wednesday while the terminals were inspected. Airport officials said a window broke in the control tower and there was damage in the north satellite.

The FAA said airlines were being allowed to decide whether to resume flights into and out of Sea-Tac, but that the airport was not at full capacity late Wednesday. Boeing Field also was closed.In addition, major freeways in the Seattle area were clogged as people left work early. In Olympia, all state offices were ordered closed. The dome of the Capitol had a visible crack.Glenn Woodbury, Washington’s emergency management director, said Olympia was so hard hit that government employees may have no place to work. "We have yellow-tagged every state building on the Olympia campus," he said. "Structural engineers have examined all the buildings and concluded that they are not safe to occupy."

A number of buildings also were badly damaged in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square area, where rioting occurred just the night before during Mardi Gras celebrations.
