Chris Marcoe,

The closest probable Snowy Owl site near you (assuming you mean the Roy
near Tacoma) is the Nisqually Delta. There are usually a couple of
birds, but I understand they are waaaay out on the mud flats, and often
difficult to see even with a scope.

Damon Point, at Ocean Shores, has 10+ Owls, but is a longer drive.

For more info, go to the Tweeters home page:

which has links to a Snowy Owl sightings map, directions, photos, and
Snowy Owl reports text.
