Depending where in western Washington will determine what doctors you will find easily available. If you are going to be in King County or close to it, there are enough that you shouldn't have a problem finding one. Look at the law and see that you qualify, have your medical records, pick your doc from the Stranger or Little Nickle or read the links and reviews in the Washington state forum on this site. Be aware that there should be an initiative process again in 2011 but still get your medical authorization and keep checking here for updates in the Wa forum. :thumbsup:
