Well, I worked in Mt Vernon for about a year or so. I lived for for quite a few years in Bellingham and spent some time in Stanwood.

My opinion is that you don't want to flaunt it in the public, but I can't really say LEO is much different there than any other part of the state. If you get pulled over driving, and you have long hair with a MJ leaf on your t-shirt, you are likely to be profiled than if you are 65 and bald. Don't flaunt it, and you'll be alright.
