Exactly....even pirate moorings are OK with me if they don't wind up blocking cruisers from enjoying a great spot.
As long as there is still reasonable access to an area, even long trem anchoring doesn't bother me if it isn't affecting others to an unreasonable point.
That is why the State of Washington has the rules they do. They also have identified one harbor in the state for special rules because of heavy usage and unauthorized buoys and impacts to both the environment and navigation. They also have been removing buoys that they consider to be a hazard and/or are in violation of the regulations. They just don't have enough resources to get to them all.
