Swarms are increasing, we have magma moving closer to the surface roughly a 100 miles NW of the swarm though the USGS is unsure if related at the moment.
"The swarm, located 40 miles southeast of Lakeview, Ore., has been ongoing since mid-July and has become much more active in the past few days. A magnitude 4.6 earthquake occurred at 11:23 p.m. Tuesday night, with magnitude 3-plus events throughout Wednesday. Three magnitude 4-plus earthquakes have occurred since October 30. In the past three months, there have been 42 earthquakes greater than magnitude 3"
"There have been 66 total events in the last day, about a dozen of those magnitude 3 or higher, and 123 since last Thursday when the swarm started. The area is fairly remote and so many of these are going unnoticed"
Here's the graph for the area
