Gotta watch out for them bunnies...better carry a 44 at least
No,,, but in all seriousness I would walk very slow, staying extremely alert for any movement and carry a 22/20 gauge if I had one or a shotgun if not. Be ready to make fast shots as I doubt you will see the rabbit but a very few seconds. Try walking along the bottom of rocky hillsides or where railroads have been built up with large rocks. The more cracks and crevices they can hide in the better and the more open area you can find the more area you can see, all the better that also.
I know open areas aren't over abundant in western Washington but there are some.
I would imagine rabbit hunting is better east of you up the gorge maybe in the Hood River area and east from there, I have not hunted rabbits in your area but have spent quite a bit of time in that part of the world, and it looks like better bunny hunting there to me than where you live. Ask some local guys.
