UNABLE TO GET TO 4S1 VFR. WHILE GETTING CLRNC FROM ZSE; BLUNDERED INTO W93.

Narrative

I WAS ATTEMPTING A VFR FLT FROM OTH TO 4S1. I HAD CALLED OUR LCL ARPT CONTACT AT 4S1 AND HAD BEEN INFORMED THAT THE WX WAS 'FINE' WITH AT LEST '3-5 MI VISIBILITY AND GOOD CEILINGS.' THE WX AT OTH WAS 1000 BROKEN TO SLT AND 2 1/2 MI; SO I GOT A SVFR CLRNC OUT OF THE CTL ZONE. VISIBILITY IMPROVED AS I CLRED THE CTL ZONE TO THE S. AS I PROCEEDED SWARDS THE CEILINGS REMAINED RAGGED WITH BETTER CONDITIONS APPARENT FURTHER OFF SHORE. BY THE TIME I ROUNDED THE CAPE BLANCO/PORT ORFORD AREA IT BECAME CLR THAT CONDITIONS FURTHER TO THE S HAD DETERIORATED AND THE WX WAS DROPPING ALONG THE COAST LINE RAPIDLY. I FOUND AN AREA OF BETTER WX A MI OR SO OFF SHORE HEADED THERE CLBING VFR TO 1000 FT. AT THAT TIME I CONTACTED MMV FSS ON 122.4 AND REQUESTED AN IFR CLRNC BACK TO OTH. I INFORMED MMV FSS THAT I WAS 45 DME OUT ON THE OTH 190 DEG RADIAL AND THAT I COULD MAINTAIN MY OWN TERRAIN SEPARATION ON THE CLRNC CLB OUT. A FEW MINS LATER I WAS CLRED BY SEATTLE CENTER (THROUGH MMV FSS) DIRECT TO OTH AT 7000 FT. I PROCEEDED TO CLB AND HEADED DIRECT TO OTH. I CONTACTED SEA CENTER OUT OF ABOUT 2000 FT WHILE CLBING THROUGH A SCATTERED/BROKEN LAYER. SEATTLE CENTER INFORMED ME THAT I WAS INSIDE A WARNING AREA (W-93 TO BE EXACT) AND COULD I CLB VFR ON AN EASTERLY HDG UNTIL CLR. I SAW THAT I COULD; TOLD THEM I WOULD; AND DID. I MANAGED TO CLR THE AREA WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEMS; ALTHOUGH THE SEATTLE CENTER CTLR SEEMED PRETTY UPSET. AFTER EVERYTHING WAS UNDER CTL I CONSULTED MY CHARTS AND REALIZED WHAT MUST HAVE HAPPENED: IN MY ATTEMPT TO REMAIN IN VFR CONDITIONS AND TO GET MY IFR CLRNC I STRAYED TOO FAR W OFF SHORE AND ENTERED THE WARNING AREA (AT THAT TIME I WAS TOO BUSY TO CONSULT MY CHARTS; AND WAS HONESTLY NOT EVEN AWARE OF W-93 BEING SO CLOSE TO SHORE; 3 MI). WHAT PUZZLES ME IS THE FACT THAT NEITHER THE FSS SPECIALIST WHO I RELATED MY POS TO; NOR THE ATC CTLR TO WHOM HE TALKED TO PICKED UP ON MY INCURSION (BASED ON MY POS RPT) UNTIL I WAS IN RADAR CONTACT. HAD I BEEN TOLD PRIOR TO MY BEING ISSUED THE CLRNC I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CLR THE AREA TO THE W AND SAVED US ALL SOME TROUBLE. IN FUTURE I WILL NOT BE SO TRUSTING OF OUR LCL WX CONTACT IN 4S1 AND MORE AWARE OF THE 3 MI LIMIT ON THE WARNING AREA.
