Doug refers to the Major Public Lands quadrangles produced by the Washington
Department of Natural Resources. These are 1:100,000 scale maps and I agree
with Doug, they are invaluable. It's a shame that these maps, produced by a
public agency and depicting public lands, are not available, free of charge,
in the World Wide Web. I suspect DNR believes that, because they are a
product of the proprietary side, the side of the agency that has obligations
to manage all assets for the school trust, that they cannot make the maps
available without charge (or maybe they simply see is as a revenue
generator). A statewide version, much smaller scale and not as useful, can
be downloaded free of charge from the DNR web site.

There may be a number of places to obtain these maps. DNR has a publications
outlet along old U.S. 99, across from the Olympia Airport in Tuwater. The
maps are $6.03 each and 43 maps comprise the entire state. Here's a link to
the website with ordering instructions:
