American Wigeon are uncommon visitors in the winter; we've averaged 10 sightings a year, with the peak occurrence October-February.

We've had many flyover sightings, and sometimes wigeon will be seen in the slough, at the lake, or at the ponds at Marymoor West (a.k.a. the Rowing Club).  However, when water levels are very high and there is flooding in the Dog Meadow and/or the grass & gravel parking lot north of the grass soccer fields, we almost always see wigeon in those temporary puddle-ponds.
