I have seen one in the Siouxon unit but it was inside the Gifford Pinchot National forest so you cant hunt them there.  I am almost positive I saw one in the Battleground unit but it was tan like a coyote so I might have been mistaken.

They may be protected in many areas of the state, but you can hunt them with a camera right here in WA.  In fact, one of the best areas for observing and photographing wild foxes in the entire US may be right here at Mt Rainier National Park.  Check this out for more photos, taken just last month:    http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,27403.0.html

They are not protected.  The season is 1 Sep - 15 Mar.  Closed in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie, Okanogan, Wenatchee, and Gifford Pinchot NF's and GMU's 407 and 410.  The regs do not specify red or gray.  Taken from page 56 of the regs.
