What's a good county for a Washington resident to apply for an Oregon CHL?

Is there anywhere in Oregon that you don't have to have an appointment, you can just walk in? If there is, would you have a phone number or address?

There are walk in days at Columbia County sheriff, look on their website

Mine was issued by Columbia County and was totally painless. They were very pro carry and helpful. One thing to consider is you have to renew in person so where he lives in relation to the issue county kind of matters.

Columbia county is probably the closest, I didn't know you had to renew in person. Thanks Larry!

BTW, their website does show walk in days, other than this Saturday the next day is the end of June. It sounds like their schedule has been abbreviated because of personnel issues.

UPDATE:

Grant Co once again issues non-resident chl apps to border state residents.

May be a bit of a drive but Linn county is very gun friendly. I remember reading about someone from Washington trying a bunch of counties but running into long delays or issues but had no problem getting one in Linn county. Of course I'm a resident here but I can confirm they are great. It's like they want you to have it. I had an issue with a certificate I took in to get mine so I used my hunters safety card from 20+Yrs ago. I have a POW tattoo on my arm and they saw it and said I could have brought in my dd214 also, I commented that I didn't have pistol qualification on there like your suppose to if your going to use your dd214 to get your CHL and they said they didn't care and that Linn county is very pro military and would have given it to me anyways. Not sure if your friend is a vet or not but that's just an example of how laid back they are about it.
