See here for info about WDFW "the West 90" and driving directions.

You really need to get a copy of ABA's "A Birder's Guide to Washington". I think I mentioned it when we were on the CBC. One of the must haves for birding finding in Washington. It's full of all of these obscure (until you know them) "codeword" locations. Plenty of maps and direction.
