Washington has about 30,000 black bears. Color phase bears: cinnamon, chocolate, even blonde, are pretty common east of the Cascade crest. Here's a photo of my son's first Washington bear.

Idaho, Washington, Oregon, western Montana - all have quite a few "color phase" black bears, and some great hunt options.
