What is amusing about this whole situation is, if my memory serves me right, 
the piranha scare in WA started with the finding of a Pacu in the Columbia 
River.  Of course, Oregon didn't panic the way Washington did and work to ban 
as many pets as they could possibly get on the list.  You have to love our 
Washington state legislators for the precision work and their desire to get 
real facts and data before flying off the cuff and banning the planet surface.
Oh wait, that was sarcasm......sorry.

Steve from the Wet Spot said all their piranha are bought by Washingtonians 
taking them North.  The Portland folks don't buy them because they're not 
illegal there... "no big deal."
