I sent off an email before you guys posted the RCW asking about baiting.  This is the response I got.

"Dear Mr. Kain,

Thank you for contacting the Wildlife Program with your question on bait.  As defined in RCW 77.15.245 bait is defined as “a substance placed, exposed, deposited, distributed, scattered, or otherwise used for the purpose of attracting black bears to an area where one or more persons hunt or intend to hunt them.”
 
This includes scents, and other popular attractants sold by sporting goods stores.
 
If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to contact the Wildlife Program at (360) 902-2515.
 
Sincerely,
 
Mike Day
Customer Service Specialist
Wildlife Program"

No, it's not baiting.  Scents are different than food.  Sents are an attractant.  Consider chumming vs. scent attractants while fishing.

And it is against the law for bears as in many cases for fishing.

Depending on how you use it, how could they prove it?  How could they collect evidence of a smell?  If you were using a spray scent, say Anise sprayed on trees and bushes.  The area smells like black licorice but there is no "substance".  Now if you put it on a rag or something like that sure they would have evidence.  Not advocating breaking the law but how in the world would they prove it?
