Does anyone know the audio surveillance laws -- specifically in Washington State? If I remember correctly, on private property, you need the owners permission, and the subjects permission before audio recording is permissible. Video recording is OK -- with permission from the owner (or management -- if it's in a business)

Is both video and audio recording in public fair game, without permission?
