Washington is a nice system. Fee is $60.00 first time $32.00 for renewal. There is no class/training/test requirement. The permit is good for 5 years and non-residents can get permits but they must apply in person. Washington is a "shall issue" state that requires the permit to be issued within 30 days so long as the applicant is not disqualified (I received my first issued permit in 7 days). Non resident permits may take up to 60 days to be issued. Reciprocity is a problem because Washington refuses to recognize any out of state permits. States that recognize WA permits:
- Idaho
- Indiana
- Kentucky
- Michigan (resident permits only)
- Montana
- Utah
- Virgina
I think the biggest bonus for WA is the low fee and no training requirement (not that I'm against requiring training but it seems to add a lot to the cost of permits).
Edited to add: BONUS: You're in Oregon so it probably isn't too far to drive to apply in person. Then, coupled with your Oregon CCW permit, you'll be covered for most of the west coast: AK, ID, MT, OR, WA (sans Kalifornia)
