I went to school in Seattle. Escape/Evasion at Ft Lewis. Love them big ol' Ant hills out there.
There's a couple good Crappie lakes down I-5 from you.
Lake Washinton and Lake Sammamish both have lot's of Crappie.

I'll bet yo get hooked on Trout, Steelhead and Salmon long before you find that good Crappie lake though.
