WA is kind of lame when it comes to that sort of thing.

The best I ever did was find some cool salamanders while I lived there.

well I live in the Tri-cities which is a bit south from where you are at and we have scorpians, wolf spiders, jumpers, widows, hobo spiders, rattle snakes etc....the mountains probably have orb weavers, crab spiders, sheet web spiders, hackled band weavers, funnel webs in addition to the wolfs, jumpers, widows, hobos etc. lol the problem is finding the tiny buggers. there are alots of little aracnids in washington state

There is one species of truly remarkable boa native to the forests of Washington: Rubber boa. Rarely encountered, and highly protected over most or all of its range. Look, take lots of photos, but don't touch. Google http://www.google.com/search?q="rubber+boa"&hl=en&num=10&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=images&tbs= for more information.

You also have some truly phenomenal slugs there as well. Google http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...Washington+site:.edu&spell=1&biw=1680&bih=804.

Why are you asking us? You should be out there with boots, nets, jars, and flashlights, looking for things, then bragging to us about what marvels you've found!

Im in vancouver, and it says the range map for rubber boas is within my vicinity... it looks like ill need to go play.... I bet they will be hard to find though aha! If I remember correctly, they kinda like the cool temperatures, so it will probably be better to find them before summer hits!
