    Can’t remember the last time I saw a banana slug or any other large varieties. Used to see them all the time in the PNW.

      Where in the PNW? I still see them on trails north of King county in the suburbs. Not disagreeing with the message behind the original post but those slugs surprised me when I moved here from the Midwest and they’re still around.

        Western Washington. I used to go to a number of parks along the sound and see tons of slugs all the time. I know they aren’t completely gone, but I can’t even remember the last time I’ve seen one now.

      I used to drive to McDonalds and my car would be covered in banana slugs by the time I got back.

      Now my cat Dexter looks at me while I eat my ice cream and big macs and all I can say is “sorry buddy, nothing for you this time”
