I just looked up an article a few days ago about Bainbridge Island. The article states it is legal to use shotgun, muzzleloader, archery, and it may have even been legal for some pistols. Most residents of Bainbridge don't even know that and when they see somebody hunting, they freek out and call the law.

Does anyone know offhand the rules for shooting near houses? We've got a few bucks coming into our apple trees every night and only have five acres. We are in a semi residential area, not in the city limits and there are no county ordinances that I know of restricting shooting. Is the state rule 500ft from residences?

We called in someone hunting with a high powered rifle near our home in the city limits.
Lots of officers showed up and none knew if it was illegal to hunt or just to discharge a weapon within the city limits. They had to wait for the on duty Sargent to show. He didn't know either.

For more information regarding Code Enforcement and the ordinances enforced by the Code Enforcement Officer, please contact the Sheriff’s Office at 243-4717.
Hope this helps.
Common sense should be used. Someone may hear you shoot so be prepared to answer questions.

call the sherrif.
With a last name of Gunkel, you about have to be related to the old sheriff. That's a good place to start. I wish I knew the answer, but I'm no help. Would they happen to be the bucks in the live/dead mixed orchard on 5 acres in the Heights that the old lady won't let anyone hunt on?

Crossbows are legal with a disabled permit in WA.
