For deer, you need to go up to Winthrop/Twisp.  There's not enough hunters up there.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Without spending more time scouting, I'd keep on going once you get to Naches. Head further east.

With this weather, there is a damn good chance you'll see more rattlesnakes than deer around Naches.

I hunted that area 8 days durning muzzy season and put in over 60 miles on my boots in prime country, and killed the first legal buck I saw on the 8th morning. He was a dink. It’s getting pretty pathetic around here.

Go wherever you want, there are deer most places, but finding them can be difficult. If you have not been in the area scouting before don't expect much on your first trip. Go enjoy your time and think of it as scouting with a chance of hunting. The more time spent the more you get to know it and know where not to hunt as much as where to hunt.

Sometimes the places most people say have low deer numbers are places deer are hard to find and hold some monster bucks that people don't see much. Just go enjoy your time in the woods, no where in WA is going to be easy to find a legal deer with a general tag.
