Hi CSH,
I've heard that Seattle is somewhat of a trouble spot for
DTV reception.
Since Yagi's are sort of a directional antenna, have you tried to aim it in a different direction?
Does your converter box have an on-screen display to indicate signal level. You may want to have a friend or family member come over and watch the tv screen to relay signal information as you move the antenna around.
I found a great blog article (The blogger lives in North Watham County, Seattle) in which the author upgraded to an Terrestrial DB8 Antenna setup:

Now here is the real reason for this post. I wanted to explore broadcast digital options that are available to me and I couldn’t find them anywhere out on the web. And even those sites with promising information assumed I’d be looking for Seattle stations rather than the much closer Canadian stuff. So this post is sort of a public service post of what I have found so far.
