The Washington State permit can be obtained by submitting scientific collection
permit paperwork. You can contact the WDFW Enforcement Program at (360) 902-2936.

However, I think it is much better to work through a curator of your choice. In
other words, find an institution that maintains (and is committed to) a scientific
or teaching collection and ask the curator to be included as a subpermittee on
their permit. Most curators get a new permit on or about January 1 of each year
and it is good for the calender year. However, amendments to these permits, such
as the addition of a new subpermittee, can be made at any time, as far as I know.

I'm not certain if there is a separate permit required to be in compliance with
federal laws. Hmmm.
