Since the 80's the bald eagle population, and other birds of prey, have made what many have said is a complete comeback. Even in Washington and Oregon they are spotted quite frequently. On the east coast I believe it took awhile longer. The funny thing is, the east coast bald eagle only grows to about half the size of those on the west coast.

When I used to live near Seattle, I'd see multiple bald eagles daily. Gorgeous birds, one of about 3 things I miss about being there.. he other 999,997 things they can keep.

Lived there for 1 year to the day, loved every day of it, but happiness was seeing it in my rear view mirror

I wondered what those things were hanging out of it. Found out they were the feet of newly hatched chicks.

On the 13 good days a year.. it was a phenomenal place to live. 13 years there were 12.5 too many for this Seattle native.

Although I will say it does rain a lot, the summers were usually beautiful. There are many places that get more rain in inches, most don't have 2 mountain ranges to hold the drizzle clouds in place. My main peeve is that too many Californians migrated north.

The rain didn't bother me much, even as a motorcycle rider... but the overcast / gray was too much for me... even when it get's overcast here I suffer a bit. Can you have weather PTSD?

The fishing was awesome! Just 2 miles from our house, I could put in the boat and limit out on Dungenous crab in 10min., or spend and hour or so trolling for kings and silvers. Nothing sushi on the transom!

Yeap, they are like a cancer; eating everything they infect from the inside out.

Up north it's called "Seasonal Affective Disorder". Light therapy can help.

That's the main reason Seattle is the suicide capital of the U.S., not enough sunshine.
