Nope it's against the law to have a live coon as a pet (or training) in the state of Washington but as long as no one knows I guess it might be alright

Keep in mind if you are caught using a coon for training purposes you'll be charged with a gross misdeameaner $500 fine for each coon and most likely 2 years prohbation...I know this first hand from a few years ago.

You can buy a bobcat from back east as long as you have the permits. At least that's what they used to do in Washington.

you can't bring bobcats into washington. if you had them befor last year they can stay but you cant buy now, I have one but when she is gone I can't get another
