Yup, but you're better off driving an extra hour east to extend your range. And many of the areas close to seattle are firearm restricted anyway (bowhunting only).
Take up your bow, a quiver full of arrows, head out to the country and hunt some wild game.  GEN 27:3

If you're looking to save money on gas, you're getting into the wrong sport.

there's some good bucks close to town . finding huntible land is tough . door knocking and studying timber company land is a good bet . expect many to turn you down just stay polite and persistant along with knowing boundrys and where you can and cant travell on easments . good luck.

Firearms restricted, yes....bow hunting only, no.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

You can use shotgun or a revolver with 4" barrel or longer in 454. If I read the regs right you can use a crossbow during modern deer season in restricted units also.

Hancock Snoqualmie if you want to spend some money for access.  The National Forest, just take some time to get away from all the heavily used trails.
