I have uploaded shots from these outings to a new gallery for 2019 PNW stuff in my photo archive, as well as a few leftovers from an October trip to Boundary Bay/Reifel (those were added to the PNW 2018 gallery in my archive). Here's a short preview:

We were treated to a couple rarities on Day 1, including a Snowy Owl and this Leucistic Bald eagle.
