title: Update on Ochlerotatus japonicus in the state of Washington.
abstract: A limited survey was conducted in 2003 to determine if Ochlerotatus japonicus was spreading outside of King County, Washington. Ochlerotatus japonicus was found in north-central Pierce County and west-central Snohomish County. These collections represent county records. An additional site was reported from King County. Ochlerotatus japonicus is established and spreading to other areas of Washington.
