The data are a little sparse but it looks like there could be two migration
paths. Those using the coast were as far north as the Columbia River by
2/9. Need data from farther north including west coast of vancouver island
to support this. The other group seems to have gone up the Willamette-Puget
lowland, reaching Longview by 3/8, Olympia, 3/9, and Guemes, 3/13. Should
be in Bellingham this afternoon! (i couldn't find any yesterday).Could also
be an even
later route, east of the cascades, but no word there yet. Keep reporting!
