You have probably walked by or under way more than you'd like to know. Lol. 
In all honesty, you really don't need to go any special place.  They are everywhere.

If you have(as stated) seen glimpses of them a couple times in the wild, you are way ahead of most people.
I spend more time than most folks in the mountains and have only seen 1.  He was chasing 2 deer before I let the air out of him.
They mostly feed on deer, elk, moose, so be in an area with good populations of these. They will follow/stay with the deer/elk during migrations. In the late fall/winter when the deer are all bunched up....that's going to be your best bet. Good luck!

Just go deer hunting without a cougar tag, youll see one
:yeah: Been in WA for 3 seasons now.  Balked on getting a small game license every year.  Have seen bobcat inside 100yards every year.  Have had 2 this year already.  One at 5 ft this past weekend.  Although the season isnt open anyway I think ... I wouldnt know, didnt buy a small game license.  :bash:

Go out and find some cougar tracks with a game trail, than find some tall trees. Now get in the middle of those trees, pull your pants down and start pooping...Now look up and there it is!
That's my one shot.
