they're suposidly native here as well, though i have yet to see any

I've lived in WA for basically my entire life...as a teeneager I knew they were around but hard to find. When I lived in Tacoma I spent a LOT of time trying/hoping to find one. As a kid I got tired of garter snakes and always wished for that rare find! I didn't actually see my first one until I was probably about 20-21 yrs. old.
We can get Rosies, but ordering is just not the same as finding.

I'm STILL feel a slight pang of jealousy everytime someone brings one in...how pathetic is that!!
