Fortunate that it’s not in a populated area. It seems a subduction zone quake and hopefully it won’t trigger a bigger one like the Boxing Day Earth Quake and Tsunami was preceded by another large quake.

It’s not a subduction zone - it’s a strike-slip (transform) fault like the San Andreas, connecting the Cascadia subduction zone and the subduction in Alaska
