I've finally, unequivocally, found a Northwest(ern?) Crow in Seattle.
Pioneer Square to be exact:

My wife and I were walking along 1st Ave, about a block N of Elliot Bay
Bookstore, and I noticed a small crow scrounging about in the gutter. It
was so small I commented to my wife that it could be the nefarious NW Crow.
A Rock Dove promptly came in to see what was so interesting (to the crow,
not us), and I was excited to note that this crow couldn't have been an
inch or two longer than the dove (all in the tail). To confirm my now
certainty that this was indeed a NW Crow, the dove drove off the crow with
a mere lunge at it!

These guys are quite noticeably smaller than the usual crows seen in this
area, and interestingly enough this one was all alone (lost, or just out
on a foraging mission?).
