Bryan is correct. The WDFW web-site has this information in print for you. Crows have a hunting season just like ducks or other game birds do. They can also be removed when in the "act of depradation". However, the right to kill a crow does not give you the right to discharge a firearm in a no shooting zone such as inside city limits, or other safety zones. Archery or Falconry can be used in those areas, or a licensed trapper. A Washington State small game license is required to hunt crows.

In fact, it was announced that it was now legal to kill crows again and most seemed more than happy about that!!
