There is a roost on the top of a row of pilings visible from Legion Park
in Everett, WA, although it is quite distant and would be better observed
from a boat. It is near Steamboat Slough and the pilings are a
immeadiately adjacent to one another forming a long row. This is in the
area where I have posted info about osprey recently.

I also recall someone posting about cormorants on pilings in the Snohomish
River in the area of the town of Snohomish.
