Decent-sized earthquake out in BC

There's a great advantage in having your earthquake in the middle of nowhere. Over the years, the subduction zone at the Queen Charlottes has been very active.

So now they just had an M6.5, which is almost nothing out there. But you can see from the map that the whole area is a subduction zone. One day, the action just has to move down towards Vancouver and Seattle.
