A 4.​2 magnitude earthquake struck San Mateo on March 18, 2025, followed by a 3.​8 aftershock on March 20.​ The initial quake's epicenter was located 2.​5 miles northeast of San Mateo at a depth of 4.​7 miles.​

  • No major structural damage reported
  • Minor disruptions to local services
  • Seismologists monitoring for additional aftershocks

This follows December 2024 reports of unusual seismic quiet periods, which some experts suggested could indicate building tectonic stress.​
