I basically just want to go and shoot some targets without paying a fee and being held down by rapid fire rules and cold range hot range warnings, I have every intention of being responsible with a back stop and cleaning up after myself, I just don't want to be eyeballed by a range officer while I'm doing my thing.Is there anywhere in Washington state that i can go and shoot at some targets other than a shooting range or club.

Thank you I figured this would be the case more than anything, people DO know a place but they'd rather keep it a secret which I totally get. Looks like I'll do some legwork to find my spotJust to add... being new to an area usually requires a little bit of legwork. Making a day of it driving the back logging roads and scouting a good location... possibly over multiple trips to find that "perfect spot" may be required. Many, I would say, are reluctant to share exact locations out of fear of it being overrun or damaged by negligent shooters. No different than keeping your favorite fishing hole a guarded secret.
Don't get discouraged. There are countless areas very well suited.
If you happen to remember what the 'Comparable Federal pass' is please describe it because I have NO knowledge of such - and never have.I forget what the comparable federal pass is,
This is correct and was a fairly big 'issue' about 20 years ago when many BLM areas were getting 'No Trespassing' signs hung on the fences and a LOT of public access gates being locked.So, I've been told, correct me if I'm wrong, by rights, you could climb over that fence and have public access to that land that is leased for grazing.

Passes are only required in national and state parks and forests where use/access fees are charged. Like parks or other designed recreational use areas, but not required for "general" BLM land access or usage.This is the pass I've got from the feds: https://store.usgs.gov/access-pass
and this from Oregon: https://stateparks.oregon.gov/?do=v.page&id=19
