I was looking in to WA State law regarding firearm transfers and found this law regarding out of state firearm purchases:
Out of State Purchasing (RCW 9.41.122)Residents of Washington may purchase rifles and shotguns in a state other than Washington from a federally licensed dealer. For internet sales and the purchase of a pistol out of state, residents are subject to procedures and background checks required by Washington law. Procedurally, this requires purchase of the firearm from a federally licensed dealer and shipment to a licensed Washington dealer who will conduct the necessary background checks before transfer of ownership to the purchaser.

Note that this law does not subject WA residents purchasing a rifle or shotgun to procedures and background checks required by Washington law unless it's an internet sale. Did I-1639 have specific language requiring out of state dealers to do otherwise?
