Can anyone recommend a good place to fish for trout in Washington state?

I recently moved to the Seattle area. I am not much of a fisherman, but I would like to try it. Where is a good place to fish for trout and to get the equipment?
Try Meridian Lake. It’s located about two miles east of Kent right off hwy 516. Lake Meridian holds Rainbow trout as well as Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass a variety of Spiny Rays and Catfish. Trolling small flatfish or popgear will work well for the Rainbow trout. Fishing from the public dock using a power bait and a sliding eggsinker will work also. For the bass try casting a dark colored crankbaits. Lake Meridian is open year around.

If you don’t mind travelling I live in Vancouver BC and there is some amazing Trout fishing in the rivers right now, The seymour river is higher then normal for this time of year and is prolonging the trouts run , there is a great little tackle shop in north vancouver on lonsdale ave called High Water tackle, You can purchase one day fresh water fishing liscences for like $8.00 . Sorry I dont know much about anywhere closer to seattle.
