Another area of public land where there are nest platforms for Great Gray Owls is the Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Klamath County, OR. Faye Weekley, the biologist there, tells me one of her several platforms is in use this year and has a Great Gray Owl nestling. As with the western slope of the Cascades and the Klamath Basin, Klamath Marsh seems to have an abundance of small mammals this spring.
Altogether that makes eight platforms in use across the state that I know of.
