A lot of the places close by (to Renton, Kent, Covington) in 464 that I have scouted are little pockets with no visibility, and I haven't seen too many rubs this year.  Try out near Ravensdale but watch the boundary to the watershed.

Wouldn't Kent, Renton, and Covington all be firearm restricted? Most of Ravensdale is going to be private property too as far as I know. Not sure if the power lines there are legal to hunt or not?

  Bonneville does let people hunt the power lines, but not sure if they are firearms restricted or not.

I think Southeast of 90 (East of 169) Ravensdale, close to Green River and Cedar River GMU's are not firearm resticted, but there is a lot of private property out there, and they don't care for high power rifles going off around them.  But I could be wrong.  I sure see a lot of hunters out there with rifles.
