In WA they are legal to own, but not legal to use. Use being to put into service or action ie actually shoot through it in order to suppress the noise of a firearm.

Your best bet about how to go about buying one is to contact the manufacturer of the supressor you are interested in and find out where the nearest dealer to you that they work with is.
