The likely cause of the bulge is a pool of magma that, according to Deschutes National Forest geologist Larry Chitwood, is equal in size to a lake 1 mile across and 65 feet deep.

The magma lake is rising 10 feet each year, under tremendous pressure, and it deforms the Earth's surface as it expands, causing the bulge.
 
..insurance companies like to use stuff like this as evidence of increased earthquake activity and raise homeowner/earthquake rates which also effects rentals.
