For 500yards or more you're looking at buying permits to access Weyerhauser land, which can be in excess of $400, or some place East of the Cascades. Those spots are extremely dificult to find and access on public land, especially West of the Cascades.
If you find any, let me know!

Any better answers if I ask re: only shooting out to 200 yards?
Thanks

You're going to find that most public target shooting does not exceed 100yards...
Mt. Hood National Forest - Recreation

Technically you can shoot anywhere so long as you obey the rules. The dificulty lies in that you will seldom find a place that isn't without a waterbody or development already there, which makes it a no go for shooting. Most people shooting that far on "public" land are shooting hill to hill in clearcuts, West of the Cascades. I say "public" because a lot of them are actually on Weyerhauser land / private timber land..
