I am counting 7 quakes within the last 9 hours.
First 1 was a 2.2. Next 4 were 4 pointers. Last 2 were each 5.5. Would be better if the trend were going down, but they are inching upward.....hmmm....

Blanco Transform Fault exhibits behavior like this pretty often. There have been 156 quakes of mag 4.5 or larger just in the past 20 years on the Blanco between the ridge segments.

Swarms
On January 9, 1994, a large series or swarm of earthquakes occurred in the East Blanco Depression. Acoustic signals recorded during these events indicated that an eruption occurred in this zone. Further investigation revealed an active hydrothermal vent, the first of its kind to be discovered in a transform fault zone.[10]
In March and April 2008, a swarm of moderate earthquakes occurred both near and within the Blanco zone. The swarm began on March 30 when over 600 measurable tremors began occurring north of the zone within the Juan de Fuca Plate. On April 23, activity moved to the Blanco fault zone itself, near its junction with the Gorda Ridge.[11]
Another series of earthquakes occurred in June 2015. Spread out over a period of a few days, some reached magnitudes of 5.8.[

that is a lot of movement that is putting a lot of stress on other segments of the fault...highly likely imo that this is a foreshock sequence...
