This is an excerpt from the WAC (Washington Administrative Code).

WAC 232-12-064 Live wildlife. Taking from the wild, importation,
possession, transfer, holding in captivity.

(1) It is unlawful to take live wildlife (except unclassified
marine invertebrates and fish), wild birds (except starlings, house
sparrows and rock doves by falconers, and rock doves by bird dog
trainers), or game fish from the wild without a permit provided for by
rule of the commission and issued by the director.

------------

Permits are not easily obtained.

Unfortunately, Washington law does not allow the keeping of ANY
wildlife. Interestingly, although it is illegal to possess wildlife,
including reptiles, it is completely legal to kill reptiles. This
makes criminals out of anyone who handles a snake, toad, salamander,
etc.

As a kid in Alaska I often had Northwestern Crows as pets. I have also
had several Ravens. All were exceptional pets. None were kept in cages
however, and all disappeared within a few months. As soon as they
could fly, they lived outside, free to roam at will. This got at least
one shot by an idiot neighbor who thought the Raven was possibly tame
due to having rabies.
