Washington State hunting

[Doc Contender]

Found out this weekend that my son-in-law is being sent to Port Angeles Coast Guard Station. How hard is it to get big game tags for non residents in the State of Washington?

I know this post is kinda old , but here goes.  It depends on what you want, elk and deer are primarily over the counter.  However, non-resident tags are spendy, I think military personel that are stationed in washington meet the resident requirements immediatly, no time requirements.
