A call (11 am) from Tom Mansfield and Terry Sisson asked me to post the information about an Arctic Loon in Mason County. The Arctic Loon is off the southern end of Squaxin Island seen from the southern end of Hartstene Island. The road they were on is Squaxin Rd. with a small spur (un-named) to a vanage point looking towards the southern end of Squaxin Island.

Hopefully others can get over there to look for it and perhaps get a photo. Sounded like the Arctic Loon was coming out of breeding plumage.
