They MAY allow you to bring your gas car in if you’re moving into Washington State, but that will be it. If you currently live in Washington State or have lived there in the past 5 years (or something like that), you’re out of luck.

The border states just have to have to let you use a UPS Store (or similar) mailbox to register your car. I have done this on a couple of my older vehicles: a Connecticut car registered in Maine, and an Illinois car registered in Wisconsin. (Actually, both the same car).

“The border states just have to have to let you use a UPS Store (or similar) mailbox to register your car.”

I’ve done the same, and in states where they don’t collect much money off of registrations, you can usually get away with it for some time. But it is illegal beyond some number of days (typically 30), so you can get in trouble if you try to extend it, particularly in a state filled with Karens wondering why you were able to buy a new gasoline car when the people they voted for won’t let them do the same.
