They are around, I've seen them in the Coast range as far north as Vernonia and was told by someone that grew up outside of Elkton that they used to have Rattlers hide in their Strawberries hunting birds. Rattlesnake Rd out of Dexter must have been named for something. Yakama fireing center was thick with buzz tails, great fun when you are a scout trying to be sneaky at night. No one ever got bit but one morning the entire formation had to take two steps back to to let a 4 footer cruse down the middle of the road we were standing on. I just leave them alone and we both get on with our days. Here's one sunning itself on the warm morning pavement in the Tule Lake area. https://pbase.com/oremackies/image/136154745/medium.jpg
