I'm moving to seattle in a couple months from CA. Where are some good producing spots for ducks? I don't have a boat.

around seattle is a little hard. joint base lewis mcord (jblm) is a spot that i have heard of. if you could make a trip to eastern washington crab creek is a good jump shot area. if not look up local lakes that you can hunt away from houses.

Wait to get up here then do some scouting. Their are several apps on the WDFW web site that shows the public spots. ONce you get up and check out the area you might find some areas of interest to check out and ask about. Unfortunately no one likes to give up their honey holes, so they probably won't post it on the forum.

Lake Washington by Overlake or Sand Point, lol. Just kidding the tree huggers would flip out! Sorry, don't know any spots on the west side.

I think he was fishing? He hasn't been on since a few days after his post.

the interesting thing is DU mag did an article a while back stating Seattle was the best metropolitan place for duck hunters to live/work because of distance to hunting areas.

It is true, the drive to SeaTac is a short one.

North, South and East...check out wdfw for some well known public spots. You can get some scouting in from there. What brings you up from Cali?

Best bet is to head east. The best thing about the Seattle area, is we are only a couple hours away from everythinhg.
3 hours in your truck and you could be in prime waterfowl habitat on the eastside.

Nisqually can be very productive in late season or really early season.

Well if you actually hunt in Seattle you may find the food at lockup to be a bit on the bland side. But as others have mentioned there are so many places within a 3 hour drive. I am just getting into duck hunting myself. Good luck
