I thought I'd throw this out there because there have been some sightings. In 2012 was the last semi local irruption. Boundary Bay, a bit across the border in BC, was where I went to see and photograph them. I think they say it happens about every 10 years. I live at Samish Flats and have seen one on occasion since 2012. Some photos here: flickr.com/photos/catsbow/albums/72157629074825585 or the album owls.
