North Puget Sound (Region 4)

This region covers the northern Puget Sound portion of the state from King County to the Canadian border.

The terrain ranges from the alpine forests of the Cascade mountains in the east to the beautiful San Juan islands and Puget Sound to the west. Puget Sound is home to many species of marine mammals, including Orca (killer whales), marine birds, and fish of all kinds, including several species of salmon, bottomfish, and shellfish. The Cascades are home to wolves, black bears, cougars, deer and elk. The Skagit River Valley provides habitat for wintering bald eagles and is one of the prime viewing sites in the country during January and February. The valley also is home to swans and numerous species of waterfowl. Three Wildlife Areas owned and operated by the department provide wildlife viewing and hunting opportunities.

Our customer service staff will be happy to help you with information about the area's watchable wildlife and other fish and wildlife opportunities in the area. Hunting and fishing regulation pamphlets and other fish and wildlife information is available at the office free of charge.
