How is it that WA has one of the lowest rates of traffic deaths among the states?

Two reasons... #1 poor information gathering, and statistical anomalies... if you looked at the number of accidents per miles traveled it would be one of the very worst places. #2 90% of the people in Washington live in Western Washington where the weather is just crappy enough to keep most of the people to depressed to bother going for a car ride.

You must not have looked at my link. WA has one of the lowest rates per miles travelled. Check it out.

We’re talking about death rate per miles travelled, so #2 doesn’t apply.
