Yes, definitely part of the "Ring of Fire." But the whole thing is studded with cracks, tributaries, and offshoots.
The general movement of the Pacific plate is to the north-northwest, but it nudges these satellite plates in various directions. The Juan de Fuca plate is getting pushed to the east, while the North American plate is moving to the west, putting incredible stress on the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
Sooner or later, something's going to give.
