AP reports: "Scientists listening to underwater microphones have detected an unusual swarm of earthquakes off central Oregon, something that often happens before a volcanic eruption - except there are no volcanoes in the area. [...] There have been more than 600 quakes over the past 10 days in a basin 150 miles southwest of Newport. The biggest was magnitude 5.4, and two others were more than magnitude 5.0, OSU reported."

The entire Pacific area is an earthquake fault zone. see reference. You do not need a volcano near by to have an earthquake.

marianne, thanks for the info, I'm watching the situation carefully. Its' my understanding that there are several extinct volcanoes in the northwestern U.S., perhaps it also doesn't necessarily have to be near an active volcano?
several extinct volcanos in the US? Where? I did not know that!
marianne, your second comment was e-mailed to me, but blogger.com did not send a confirmation notice (requesting approval), can you repost?
Mount Rainier is one of five active and dormant volcanoes in Washington state. See this USGS website for more info:
