A friend wants me to come kill yotes at his place, however I cant figure out what the laws are there...it looks to be in city limits, so Im doubtful that gun shooting is allowed, but possibly archery??
also need to know the laws on the greenbelt behind the property by the river
heres the address
5502 Jordan Ave SE in Auburn
any help?

9.34.030 Discharge of firearms in city prohibited.
The entire area of the city is a “no shoot” area. It is unlawful to shoot or discharge any firearm, pistol, rifle or similar device anywhere within the corporate limits of the city other than for the purposes of exercising the rights specified in RCW 9A.16.020. For the purposes of this section, “pistol” and “rifle” shall include but are not limited to pellet guns, B-B guns, air-propelled guns and similar devices. (Ord. 5682 § 1, 2002.)
Your only option is archery.

It appears that the parcel between there and the river is owned by King County, so I doubt any kind of hunting would be legal there. Also it all seems to be a part of the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation. I don't know what affect that would have on the legalities of hunting there. Personally I wouldn't waste my time.
I just checked two sources and didn't see any county land :dunno:
You can hunt the private lands within the Muckleshoot Rez, just not tribal owned lands. And in this area the Rez isnt until you hit the river.

The "imap" on the King County Assessor's site shows a 100 acre parcel adjoining the 6 acre parcel at 5502 Jordan Avenue, on the east. The owner is listed as "King County - WLRD"
Interesting just checked again and still not showing up, yet other areas I know are county owned are showing. It does show it as an area they want to purchase but they still do not own it.

Do a search for parcel 3421059017
Ya thats the one I was looking at. Still not owned by the county, they are simply wanting to purchase it. It would go to the "Water and Land Resources Division" which is separate from the County Parks Dept.

Then why does it show up on the King County site that I'm looking at as being owned by the county?
Who owns it according to the map you're using?
Either way, if it is King County ownership, can it be legally hunted?

King County Parks and Natural Areas cannot be hunted. This would go to the Waters and Lands Resources Division which isn't subject to that no hunting policy.
Go to this imap site to see King County Parks and Natural Areas: http://www.kingcounty.gov/operations/GIS/Maps/iMAP.aspx (http://www.kingcounty.gov/operations/GIS/Maps/iMAP.aspx) Click the parks option.
Back to your original question. Go to your "layers" section and select "King County Property Interests" which will now put blue triangles on some areas. If you zoom out to see the Green River area you will see the most of these areas are also shaded dark green. The areas that are dark green are current County park/resource lands, the areas that still have the slash marks and triangle but aren't shaded are not current county lands but ones they want to acquire.

Okay, so he's got 6 acres to hunt coyotes on, with a bow. I guess if I was going to try it, I'd be baiting, and try to pattern them with a trail camera. Maybe set up a ground blind 30 yards or so from the bait. It won't be easy.
I was under the impression baiting for yotes is illegal? Am I wrong? I dont yote hunt much except during big game...
But he's getting his farm animals messed with so I should give it a shot either way, I do have a caller btw, not sure how happy the neighbors would be about it but :dunno:

The only thing you can't bait are bear and birds.

Okay, I finally took the time to try out the "King County Property Interests" layer, and I see what you're saying- that parcel does show up as being one they're interested in. But, nevertheless, it also shows up as the owner being "KING COUNTY - WLRD."
And thanks, I didn't know what WLRD stood for, you say it's the Water and Land Resources Division, and if it's under them, it's not closed to hunting.
So I see this as a great opportunity for the original poster. Here's a 100 acre parcel that is public land, open to hunting, but it's landlocked. There's no legal access to it unless you are an adjacent property owner. I'd be hunting that if I çould, not necessarily for coyotes, but I'd scout it out for deer, bear, and elk.
Bigtex, you might try clicking on the "i" in the tool section, and then click on that parcel. Then click on "Get Assessor Report." That should get you the ownership info.
Doesn't this indicate its owned by King County:

Now, Bobcat, don't even think about poaching that spot from the OP. :chuckle:

I sure as heck wouldn't drive north to hunt, when I can go south. The further from King County, the better, is how I see it.
