All earthquakes are caused by is slippage of tectonic plates underneath the earths crust. The closer a location is to the meeting of two tectonic plates, the greater chance of an earthquake. The west coast of the U.S. is right along the edge of a tectonic plate, resulting in more earthquakes. While the east coast of the U.S. isn't anywhere close to an edge of tectonic plate, resulting in less earthquakes

Why does the risk of earthquakes vary across the US?
Earthquakes tend to occur most often at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates. One such boundary runs along the coast of the Western United States all the way from the bottom of California to Alaska. So places near this boundary are at the highest risk of earthquakes. As you move further east, you move further away from this tectonic plate boundary so the risk of earthquakes goes down (although they can still happen).
