Anxious to climb local 5.8-5.12 sport routes in the near future. Any suggestions for must climb destinations greatly appreciated. What are the best multi-pitch sport climbs under 5.10 in wa?

www.cascadeclimbers.com has a lot more PNW locals lurking.
I'm not aware of any multi-pitch sport under 5.10 in Washington, although I wouldn't be surprised if it exists. Maybe some of the stuff out at Static Point or Darrington is that easy? Or the goat wall out in the Methow.
There is actually a decent amount of fun bolted climbing at Index, although it can feel pretty challenging if you're not used to the local style.
Little Si has some really good over-hanging sport.
Well you got the first 10(?) pitches of infinite bliss. That's all bolted and goes at 5.9. The next pitch is .10b. Actually the first chunk of IB would make a good outing for that great.
There is also condormorphine addiction - .10b in Lworth that is actually a sport route, from what I gather Darrington might have all bolted routes, but theyre probobly not "sport routes"
Leavenworth has some all/mostly bolted slab routes as well. Most are 2-3 Pitches.

Check out stuff on the Goat Wall in Mazama. My guidebook is currently lent out, but I'm pretty sure there a number of bolted multipitch routes on it. Prime Rib is, I believe, 9 pitches and goes at 5.9. It's supposed to be classic.
