Kapwosin has a few large ones. Not many overall, but some real whoppers for sure.

Mt. st. helens and mt. adams offer some good bears. 300# is a tough trophy but there around.

I'm embarrassed to admit I don't recall ever seeing a bear in the wild in Washington state. I've seen a lot of other cool stuff. spent a LOT of time around elk and deer and all kinds of other animals, but no bears that I can recall.

I don't know where you are but Green Mountain out in Kitsap County i guess has lots of bears. I have been told there is one that goes 400+ lbs near the Gold Creek Trailhead.
The only person who has failed is the one who never tried.
