After reading Kathryn Schulz article in the New Yorker, a friend got his hands on the time periods for the major cascadia earthquake dates and calculated the intervals between them to get a sense of where our current interval compares with historical intervals.  He sent some R code that created this plot.  Seems like most of the recorded intervals are even longer than the one we're currently experiencing.  However, anything could happen at any time.
