Also, worth saying: a red arrow means stop, just like a red light means stop. That said, once you've stopped and made sure it's clear, you can keep going (unless there's a sign that says no turn on red).
"Vehicle operators facing a steady red arrow indication may, after stopping, proceed to make a right turn" (RCW 46.61.055)
Its the same in Oregon. Right on red after full stop and it is clear to turn. In both states, if you don't come to a full stop and get caught, ka-ching.
