Sorry for cutting that message off. As far as wildlife most of it within driving range of Seattle to the west is small creatures and birdlife. However there are lots of them I know nothing about them. I shoot mostly landscapes and large wildlife and take long trips to get there.
East of Seattle about a hundred miles are mountian lions and the occational cougar and black bear. The chance of seeing any of them would be very rare.
If you go to Friday harbor be on the watch for whales while on the ferry. On the north side of the island is Roche Harbor often one can see whales from the shore there. Feel free to contact me at jlewis@lewisgroup.com
