That eruption is over-due.

I've stood on ground-zero for that eruption and listened to the educational program about it.
It's unlikely to erupt for thousands of years. The reason for this is that the volcano is a "hot spot" not a fault line. This means that it is probably a hole in the mantle caused by a meteor strike millions of years ago and not a break in the plate tectonics .

The North American continent has been slowly moving across this hot spot for the last few million years. Right now the phenomena is under the Rocky Mountains . It's hot enough to create geysers but not hot enough to melt through those tall mountains as a full volcano (Hawaii has a similar geology but at a lower elevation). The mountains will eventually keep moving west, and when the hot spot is under the foothills it will probably blow. The North American Plate is only moving west about an inch per year, so it will likely be thousands of years before the eruption happens.
