Yeah, I moved to Tacoma about two years ago but was born and raised in Seattle. Before the move I'd be out there at least 120 days a year most years. It's still great for trout and some huge cutthroat. It's also one of the best trophy sized smallmouth bass lakes in the state. You'd be shocked to see how many boats can be out there on a sunny day these days. We call it "The Big Bathtub". Mostly pleasure boaters and mini yachts for the most part. It is a great place to live. Could do without the traffic though :D.

Here's a couple fish that came out of Lake Wa over the years (sorry about the larger pics).
