All of those you listed and sea ducks if you get your sea duck authorization.

You need a special permit AND authorization to hunt geese in SW WA in units 2A and 2B. You have to take a test to make sure you can identify all 7 sub-species of Canadas which winter here. They're trying to save a goose which, left to natural selection, would be gone by now. But it allows them to get an additional $7/yr out of everyone who participates.
