Mt. Hood, in Oregon has been quiet for more than 7 years with nothing but minor seismic activity, but on Fri, May 14th 2010, activity began ramping up. A magnitude 2.4 started the action at about 17:09 UTC, and then peaked with a magnitude 3.0 at 19:03 UTC.

It appears that these quakes are fault related, and not volcanic at this point. The Northwest is joining the rest of the Pacific, and is seeing increases in seismic activity. Just how much of an increase time will tell!
