Are the plates getting ready to release? 6.9 is a reasonably strong earthquake.
This is a release and according to more than a few theories these smaller quakes can help relieve stress and then prevent a larger quake.
That would be nice because a 9.2 off of Vancouver Island would devastate Victoria and cause serious damage in Vancouver and Seattle...not to mention the very likely tsunami that would follow.
