Were near Tacoma, but rural. We tried the fishing line too, it worked a couple months. The Tenex deer fencing (Homedepot on-line or Farm Tec on-line, I think.) Although it is black, it seems to disappear. I even drape it over plants and the deer don't like the mouth-feel. The problem is the black-tail are sneaky if they love something. We had them belly crawl under the fence when it was raise 12 inches and even at 6 inches and finally even on the ground...all to get the apple trees! Finally had to go with concrete wire cut in half and the fence zip-tied to it so that over all it is 11 feet high. The orchard has 12 dwarf apple trees and deer can severely prune them, plus eat the apples. Our fairly narrow garden, 14 foot, is safe because it doesn't look land-able or clear enough to crawl under with the tenex around it.
