I didn't feel it, I live a few hours from the coast

I haven't seen anything in the Headline Section at IRIS yet. They seem to be moving slowly lately.

I will try to keep a check for aftershocks and also check to see if there is any type of small cluster quakes in the Cascade area's of the West Coast.

News isn't really reporting anything at this time.

i don't think anything will come out of this quake. It hit far away from populated area, in the ocean. And it wasn't strong enough to create a tsunami, I believe.

Seems everything looks good. IRIS just (finally) put up a Headline that there has been no damage reported.

looks like another on the Area where the Juan de Fuca plate is created.

Here is the map anyway:


There have been quite a few in this area actually, it is quite active, here is one from February:
