More popularly called a Concealed Pistol License or CPLAs long as you're going, stop in at the Clark County Sheriff's Dept. and apply for a nonresident LCCP, which is their version of the CHL.
It's just across the I5 bridge.
Did a quick search and didn't find it. But from another web site I did find that hand guns are allowed in vehicles unloaded and out of sight. So no locked case required correct?
Making a trip up there soon and just want to make sure I don't break any laws.
You do not need to lock up you firearm in WA. If you are on a general business trip and do not have a CPL, it only needs to be unloaded. The gun can be on your hip, and the loaded magazine in your pocket, but no ammo in the weapon.
If you are going to, coming from, or participating in an outdoor recreational activity (camping, hiking, horseback riding, hunting fishing ect) it can be loaded in a vehicle (CC or OC), no license required. RCW 9.41.060(8)
The prohibitions are in RCW 9.41.050 (same type paragraph as ORS 166.250) and teh exceptions are in RCW 9.41.060 (Same type paragraph as ORS 166.260)
On foot...Loaded OC is legal anywhere you can carry (see RCW 9.41.300 for the restrictions), no license required. Local governments are NOT allowed to do different than state law. OC is generally well accepted...Hassels are very rare. You must be asked to leave, no guns allowed signs mean nothing.
May I add, this applies to pistols only...Long guns can never be loaded in or on a vehicle. That is F&W RCW 70, not weapons RCW 9.41 CPL is shall issue, no traing required, $52.25 60 days max for out-of-state non-resident.
May I add also: there is no requirement to inform...and I would not.
Do these laws apply to residents only???

You need this book, evidently
"Washington State Gun Rights and Responsibilities"
No, they apply to everyone. The only resident/Non-resident difference is that if you are a resident and have a WA DL, they have to get you your CPL in 30 days...non-resident, or no WA DL they have 60 days to get you your CPL....still shall issue, no state mandated training or anything else.
WA is egalitarian, everyone gets treated the same, everywhere...no little local gotyas. OC is open to anyone, RCW 9.41.060(8) is even open to those under 21 (note, "any person engaging in lawful outdoor recreational activity...")
Also something to keep in mind for people 18 to 21. RCW 9.41.240
For both you and Toywin12: There are exceptions..read the exceptions in RCW 9.41.060..."Any person" means just that "any pereson" there is no qualifier that says you must be of legal age to qualify under this exemption. RCW 9.41.060 (fixed it for you.) begins: "The provisions of RCW 9.41.050 do not apply to:"
As to RCW 9.41.240...it begins with: "Unless an exception under RCW 9.41.042, 9.41.050, or 9.41.060 applies..."
When you are trying to help someone find out the law, you need to read the whole law, not just the restrictions....
The only real difference I have noted so far is that license holders in Washington are not allowed to carry a weapon in anyplace serving alcohol.

I've read the law, restrictions and exceptions, but thanks for your input. My post was not in contention of yours. When you are trying to help someone find out the law, perhaps you should qualify their situation by asking them questions and just stick to the facts and not interject statements of opinion...
Better recheck you facts on that.
RCW 9.41.300: Weapons prohibited in certain places
(d) That portion of an establishment classified by the state liquor control board as off-limits to persons under twenty-one years of age; or
Big difference between "anyplace" and just the part controlled by the state liquor board. If it was "anyplace" you couldn't take you gun to dinner in most restaurants and have your gun with you. Real easy way to tell if you can have you gun on you in WA in a place that serves alcohol is if a 10 year old kid can be there so can your gun.

I carry both a Washington and Oregon CHL. Both states have good concealed carry laws and are "shall issue" states. The only real difference I have noted so far is that license holders in Washington are not allowed to carry a weapon in anyplace serving alcohol. Oregon doesn't seem to mind that.
