I hiked part of the PCT this past weekend, 12 miles as well, and saw only two groups. One was a group of 4 guys, the other was a family of 4 who camped that night. We saw each other and easily passed by quickly when there was a safe distance between us.
On the way home I passed by the start of the PCT on the WA and saw many cars parked across the street from the trailhead. These were families with kids who usually would be parking at the Bonneville trailhead a mile west, but since that is closed, they just use the wide shoulders before the Bridge of the Gods.
Later on during my drive home I passed by Lacamas Heritage trail that takes you alongside Lacamas Lake in Camas. The parking lot was not only completely full, but cars were parked off the curbs and shoulder of the road. Safe distancing was definitely not being practiced here.
