Sounds about right.

And of course there there is the plate boundary.

The upside is that recent discoveries about the nature of earthquakes and how they spread, coupled with advances in supercomputer software and monitoring technology, now enable scientists to make more accurate predictions about future quakes.

The above is a pure "statement of faith", presented with zero evidence that the new models are correct.

This type of faith is the death of science.

The seismic activity I’m curious about is the line of activity from off shore Eureka to Nevada. It’s a straight line of quakes. It looks like a zipper to the big one of the Cascadia fault to me.
