Father of Three,
Here are the rules as written in WDFW Reg book.........
Crab: Two units of crab gear per person, and no limit on the number of units of crab gear per boat.
GENERAL GEAR RULES:
Every shellfish pot, ring net, or star trap left unattended in Washington waters must have its own buoy line and a separate buoy that is permanently
and legibly marked with the operator’s first name, last name, and permanent address (telephone number is voluntary). It is ILLEGAL to pull
unattended shellfish gear with a buoy that does not have your name on it, and only one name and address may appear on each buoy.
I'm glad that I looked it up, I learn something new everyday. Jack
