I'm watching it closely myself. 2 big shakes of my screen today is enough to make me a little nervous.
Uh oh..Lookout...Many quakes on the Juan De Fuca Plate...Oregon, page 1

Just today, two 4+ magnitude quakes have hit off the Oregon Coast, at nearly the same place on the Juan De Fuca Plate.

But there have also been a 2.5 and another 3.3 recently on the southern edges of the plate. You can see them on the map, look close.
Something most definitely to keep an eye on, because we all know what could happen if that thing decides to move...Not good. At all.
Whoa, there have been many more than that in the last week on the southern edges of this plate:

I'm here on the coast of Northern California and this will be keeping me more On the Edge than usual!

Great Subduction Zone earthquakes are the largest earthquakes in the world, and can exceed magnitude 9.0. Earthquake size is porportional to fault area, and the Cascadia Subduction Zone is a very long sloping fault that stretches from mid-Vancouver Island to Northern California. It separates the Juan de Fuca and North America plates. Because of the very large fault area, the Cascadia Subduction Zone could produce a very large earthquake, magnitude 9.0 or greater, if rupture occurred over its whole area.

Out of curiosity . . . how sure are we that pressure is beings relieved and this is not a build up?

the small quakes associated with volcanic activity is usually a release of pressure, if no volcanic activity is present, it does not mean any pressure is being released, in fact it can mean it can go either way, either building for a bigger quake or the end of the quakes

Yes we would see a giant tsunami and so would... japan. It wouldnt be a good quake at all.
Quakes that arent giant dont mean they are releasing pressure. It would also take a ton of 3.0 + quakes to equal a 9.0+ quake.

A subduction zone is where the nose of one plate, in this case the Juan de Fuca plate is subducting or going under the leading edge of another plate, in this case the North American Plate. Earthquakes originating in a subduction zone such as the Cascadia Subduction Zone can be massive and devastating.

Exactly it isn't the quake sucking up water but rather the shock sending out a massive tsunami. Quakes essentially pose three major risks, the initial quake itself, the possible resulting tsunami and the aftershocks.

Well, I am still waiting for someone to come along and point out that these quakes in this position on the plate are normal, everyday occurrences, so we have nothing to worry about...Until then, I've got every station in GEE on the west coast open I can get my hands on.
Pssst...Phage... umm, how about a "bring us back to earther" on this one, eh?

Its more of a gut feeling...I cant explain it, honestly. I'm not basing it on mathematics or the Sun or anything rational.
Must be careful TUESDAY (this is the tip off <<<<) March 16. My initial feeling is with the West Coast, although catastrophic as i feel it is, i'm not sure its an Earthquake.

A number of my co-workers and I have been watching the USGS map of earthquakes since the massive Chili earthquake. We've been on edge since the number of quakes have been on the rise worldwide. Before I left work today I did not noticed these two quakes off the Oregon coast. We're going to have a bit to talk about when they see these two quakes on the map tomorrow. I wonder if we will be seeing more quakes along this Juan De Fuca plate.
Well, it's more than two...you see the second link in the OP? Part of the reason for me posting this is because of the position of all those quakes right on edges of the plate...Still trying to figure out if they are out of the ordinary or not.
I looked up the 4.3 from today, and here is the historic tensor moment solution:
neic.usgs.gov...
From the looks of that, it is somewhat uncommon for quakes to occur in those positions on the plate, but it has happened before, as you can see. Let's just hope it is nothing, but keep our eyes peeled.
