No. The Hawaiian Islands and seamounts are being formed by a mantle "hot spot" under the center of the Pacific plate, as it moves generally WNW and is subducted near the coast of Asia.

Why is Hawaii located not at a plate boundary?

Hawaii is located in the middle of the Pacific Plate, which is a stable tectonic plate. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by a hot spot underneath the plate, where magma rises and creates volcanic islands as the tectonic plate moves over it. This is why Hawaii is not located at a plate boundary, such as a divergent or convergent boundary.
