The revised code of Washington RCW 9.41 covers pistols, rifles, and other stated weapons
Chapter 9.41 RCW: Firearms and dangerous weapons

Washington has one of the easiest written laws on where you cannot carry a firearm
RCW 9.41.300: Weapons prohibited in certain places

I wrote a FAQ on carrying a gun in Washington State that gets handed out at the gun shows. Every answer is backed up by RCW or Federal Code:

Maybe for hunting but not normal property use. Anyone can come onto your private property, unless it's posted or you notify the person(s) they are trespassing AND they refuse to leave you can't do a thing about it.

No you don't have to post anything. It is YOUR responsibility to know where you are...................



RCW 9A.52.080

Scott:

You missed this part:

RCW 9A.52.010
Definitions.

The following definitions apply in this chapter:

(1) "Premises" includes any building, dwelling, structure used for commercial aquaculture, or any real property;

(2) "Enter". The word "enter" when constituting an element or part of a crime, shall include the entrance of the person, or the insertion of any part of his body, or any instrument or weapon held in his hand and used or intended to be used to threaten or intimidate a person or to detach or remove property;

(3) "Enters or remains unlawfully". A person "enters or remains unlawfully" in or upon premises when he is not then licensed, invited, or otherwise privileged to so enter or remain.

A license or privilege to enter or remain in a building which is only partly open to the public is not a license or privilege to enter or remain in that part of a building which is not open to the public. A person who enters or remains upon unimproved and apparently unused land, which is neither fenced nor otherwise enclosed in a manner designed to exclude intruders, does so with license and privilege unless notice against trespass is personally communicated to him by the owner of the land or some other authorized person, or unless notice is given by posting in a conspicuous manner. Land that is used for commercial aquaculture or for growing an agricultural crop or crops, other than timber, is not unimproved and apparently unused land if a crop or any other sign of cultivation is clearly visible or if notice is given by posting in a conspicuous manner. Similarly, a field fenced in any manner is not unimproved and apparently unused land. A license or privilege to enter or remain on improved and apparently used land that is open to the public at particular times, which is neither fenced nor otherwise enclosed in a manner to exclude intruders, is not a license or privilege to enter or remain on the land at other times if notice of prohibited times of entry is posted in a conspicuous manner;

(2) The premises were at the time open to members of the public and the actor complied with all lawful conditions imposed on access to or remaining in the premises;

You can not charge anyone with trespassing UNLESS you notify them with signs or in person, that's why we have to post signs where I work. They consulted an attorney to find that out and posted the premises, every back door carries a sign now. The front door is opened only by security (me when I'm working) and I don't open it for obviously shady characters!
