I would think not as you need to be eligible in your home state.
To purchase firearms out of state, even in a state that permits it, the sale has to be according to the laws of the home state of the buyer. For example, as an Oregon resident, you can't buy a firearm of any kind in Arizona as an out of state buyer from an FFL, unless it's shipped to your home FFL. But as a Washington resident, you can purchase long guns (not pistols) as an out of state buyer from an Arizona FFL, and pick it up from the Arizona FFL - only IF background check and all is done in accordance with Washington state laws, and the purchaser is legally allowed to own that firearm in their home state.
That is something I hadn't thought about. Can you explain this idea in more detail?They will pass checks, but it will be illegal for them to possess the arms in Washington, outside of their home.

You are incorrect about an Oregon resident buying a long gun out of state, unless that is particular to Arizona. I've purchased long guns through an FFL while out of state w/o the slightest issue.
It's determined by Oregon, on this one. If memory serves, Oregon allows at purchase pickup of long guns only in contiguous states. Whereas Washington or other states might allow purchase pickup of long guns as long as the state you're purchasing in follow the same procedures that your home state would, which is (pretty sure I remember this one rightly) in line with federal law. Give me a bit and I'll try to wrangle up the laws in question, bud.

Anyone can purchase a long gun in OR or WA and leave with it. OSP runs the same NICS check that WA, they just set up their own computers, assign some OSP people to staff it and charge you for it. Why let the dealers run the checks (like we do in WA), when you can make them input all the data and send it to the OSP computer to automatically run the check, and then collect their $10 right of passage. The do have a different portal into the LEEP system than WA dealers have.
The nicest part of the Oregon system, they have a stolen firearm alert that pops up with the serial number. NICS and WA dont have that, because the serial numbers aren't reported to NICS. Of course, now the state has your firearm and serial number and I don't think they chunk them at the end of the year like they're supposed to.

You can still buy an AR-15 or M1A or 10-22 in Washington if 1639 passes. You'll just have to wait 10 days to pick it up, AS long as you're 21 or older AND you've signed away your right to privacy of your health records BUT... If you've ever purchased a gun in the state of Washington you will still have to go through an annual background check. It seems that not getting convicted of a felony or other disqualifying crime and not getting a 5150 is no longer sufficient to keep your gun rights. You will have to go somewhere to pay $25 (or more) to have some bureaucrat take their sweet time to verify that you have not been disqualified. The fact that you're not wearing a straight-jacket or phoning this in from County jail isn't sufficient, they will have to verify you can still own a firearm.Is it fair to say the consensus so far is that WA residents will still be able to purchase long guns in Oregon if I-1639 passes?
