RE: Moving to Seattle area from East coast
yes, the season's are specific as far as modern firearm, muzzle loader or archery. we have many special draws, black tailed deer, and elkon the west side of the cascade mountians, on the east side we have mule deer, whitetail, elk, moose(special draw only) and many other species. waterfowl on both sides is good, pheasant is all release on the west side and the east side you get a lot of hold overs. I live in skagit county and the waterfowl is very good up here. good luck!!
