Welcome to the board Crappieologist. Most all of the lakes around Seattle have crappie. Some are better for lots of fish, while others are good places to look for trophies. From a float tube I'd try Lake Dolloff right now. They should still be up in the brush there for another two weeks at least. I've seen them spawn up until the 4th of July some years.
If you have time on the weekends Ohop, Kapowsin, Tanwax, Union, Spring (in Renton), and Shadow are all good summer/fall crappie lakes that are pretty close to Seattle. Spring, Shadow, and Union will kick out a few trophies. All of the others are good for numbers
