In the Mt. Spokane area on friday, we found a few. They were sparse. Some bushes had none, some very small, occasionally we would find a bush with several large berries. Some type of worm was eating the leaves, and some bushes were 50% stripped by the worm.
Sunday am I went back in the area for a long jog on the trails. Didn't take any buckets or bags. I found the Mother load of berries. My wife and kids will be going back up today to get them. So they are out there but sporadic. This was at about 4500ft
I picked a 1/2 gal up there sat. I noticed it was hit or miss, then I stumbled on the motherlode. there were truckloads of vietnamese folk picking as a group....I doubt they left much.  up north I did fair, I noticed the area close to the road had berries, but get back a bit where you can't see the road....wiped, my guess is the bears feel safe there

Took PathfinderJR and Tinypathfinder berry pickin' Saturday.  We found lots of berries around the 4,000 ft level, but still lots of green ones.  Got a bit less than a gallon in 3 hours (Tinypathfinder eats more than he picks.. :chuckle: ).  Tried to find some in a different area yesterday when we were out getting wood, but found empty bushes.  Might have froze out earlier... :dunno:

Was up today about 4500 ft level.  They are getting better up there.  If the weather holds out for a couple more weeks they should be pretty good.  I dont have my hopes up though as it was 32 degrees this morning.  Did see some bear sine though :)  lots of elk too!

I know its a little late, but on Labor Day weekend, my sister and I were up on Col. Bob peak south of Quinault, and there were a million berries up there. 
And an adult black bear to boot!  You think I had my rifle?  Heck no!

Up on Sugarloaf today 5800ft and the few berries we did find were very very small and ripe, not a good berry season this way.

Stevens Pass has a piss poor berry year. Few berrys here and there and even still some green ones.
