A little excerpt, I found interesting:

The numbers bear that out. In 2004, law-enforcement officials confiscated a record 133,936 marijuana plants, pushing the state to No. 5 nationally in the number of domestic plants seized. The largest, a field of more than 60,000 plants on the Yakama Indian Reservation, was traced to organized crime in Mexico. Valued at more than $35 million, it remains one of the largest busts nationally.

This year, police had confiscated more than 82,000 plants entering the fall season, when hikers and hunters are likely to stumble onto the fields.

Thanks, seattle, there's still hope. And thanks to the American Great Northwest.
