    This year's early season bear hunt lineup again consists of eight game management units in the Blue Mountains (southeast Region 1), six GMUs in the northeast part of the state (Region 1), all on the east side of the Cascades, in addition to five composite (specially designed) hunt areas in Western Washington.
