The advantage for a WA resident having the transfer done in Oregon or Idaho is that they are not required by WA law to go through I1639s enhanced background check procedure for semi-auto long guns. The enhanced background check is required if the transfer takes place in Washington.
I hear what you are saying but I don't think that was the OP's initial question. Personally I am not going to make the long drive two ways with fuel cost on top of that to be at my advantage. I have done the silly course they want in Washington that took all of 5 minutes online and would wait ten days before I made a road trip. Now since he is talking about AR's the solution to that is simple ship the uppers to the buyers house and ship the lowers the buyers FFL. No laws are broken and you registered the lower and circumvent the "enhanced waiting period/background check".
Some WA residents may not be as comfortable giving up access to their medical records as you are.
Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. Any basic background check AKA NCIC's check preformed at any FFL including Oregon and Idaho would also search to see if you were court ordered to stay at a facility because you are or were mentally ill. If that's what you are referencing by the mention of medical records. It must be what you are referencing because I am sure I won't be denied if I had asthma or got boner pills from my doctor. Secondly the only way to by pass a NCICs check is a private sale which is no longer available to WA residents unless it is a fire arm that is gifted to a direct family member like if a father gifts his rifle to his son. So I yes am comfortable with the FFL knowing I am a sane and competent human being who can handle the responsibilities of gun ownership. Because who else would know what exactly or have access to what medical records? Really no one. Joe Bob at your gun shop won't have your medical file on his laptop, just a check mark by a box saying you were denied because you are 5051. If the government/Authorities have flagged you then you are bubblegum out of luck regardless of where you go. So if someone thinks a ffl background check is different in Oregon or elsewhere they are wrong.
You don't need to sell me on I-1639 since it's already a done deal and I am an Oregonian but you would have made a heck of a proponent for it. That also helps me understand why it passed.

A proponent for I-1639.... that's a stretch for me but if that helps you understand how it got passed then okay bud whatever gets you sleep at night. Personally I thought it was passed by votes from the moms and the people who want to feel "safe" and by the guys who talk nonsense on gun forums and don't know exactly what was in the bill not voting at all. But that aside, just a FYI they have been looking into backgrounds for mental health aka medical records long before I-1639 came along. All that came in that I-1639 re packaging jobber was the "mandatory online five minute firearm safety course" and raising the age to 21 to own a semi auto rifle putting a ten day waiting period on any semi auto rifle and mandatory FFL transfers for private sales. And how to properly store firearms. The waiver "expansion" to look into our mental health has always been there. It just got re worded to look extra fancy for snowflakes and to scare morons. I remember back in 2010 they had a guy in Cali who tried to buy a gun but his NCIC's came back 5150. He circumvented that by driving to Nevada and buying a firearm through a private sale. He then drove two D.C. and shot two cops in front of the White House. You remember that one? So it goes to show they have been in our medical records for along time. Probably since Regan. Do sick people get through the cracks yup it happens has I-1639 changed anything since when it went into effect in 2019? Nope it just puts more money into the FFL's and states hands. Am I for it I don't really care for it to be honest. I am from the days when you would meet a guy off a forum or little nickel news paper add in a Safeway parking lot and he handed you a bag from his trunk with a 1911 in it. Those were the good old days. So long story short the guy from Idaho can ship to a FFL in Washington without a FFL in Idaho doing it for him. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
FYI, I-1639 instituted a yearly med record check for handgun or SAR transfers. That use to be done once when the firearm was transferred to you. I am pretty sure Oregonians don't need approval from Local LE agency to buy an SAR. But hey I have been wrong before.
Once again you didn't read the article and seem not to be able to read and comprehend the law. You are the person they speak of in the first paragraph. The one who spreads misinformation or is unable to read and comprehend law.
