The weather here in the Northwest is great for growing things. Apparently a little too great! Here is another non-native plant that is causing trouble and a group that is working to keep it from ruining watersheds.
The Stilly-Snohomish Fisheries Enhancement Task Force is getting almost a quarter of a million dollars to fight this highly invasive plant that you have to spray to kill because cutting it down or pulling it up just makes it mad. Sounds like some Blackberries I know of.
This SeattlePI Article has more info on what is going on, but these invasive plants really suck!
