Present in WA (isolated central-WA population, e.g.Douglas/Grant counties) but explicitly closed to hunting statewide; WDFW's own grouse-ID pages caption it as 'protected'.

Population outlook

Washington 2026

Awaiting survey — Washington 2026

State-endangered and closed to hunting statewide, but WDFW biologists actively search for and count leks in the Douglas County core area (named leks Pine Canyon and Dutch Henry both confirmed active) -- a genuine "monitoring continues despite closure" case; population described as continuing to decrease. No standalone annual lek-count report (SD/ND/Idaho/Utah-style) was found distinct from the recovery-plan documents, so no dated 2026 figure exists to capture.
