Not in the Pacific Northwest but my dad saw one about eight or nine years ago. Saw it in the clear at about 150 yards standing about mid thigh deep in the middle of a river about thirty yards wide. It was huge but the craziest thing was when it saw him. Standing at hip deep in the middle of that river, it jumped straight up and out of the river in about three steps when it saw him. No human could possibly do that. A few days later, I put on chest waders and went out to the spot where he saw it. It was close to coming over the top of my waders and I am about 6 feet tall.
