In the state of Washington, it's best to make use of truck stops and rest areas for hitching! Washington is one of the tougher states to hitchhike.
Eastern Washington is OK hitching, too. Sometimes slow going, but well.

:Chapter 4 Definitions
::RCW 46.04.500 "Roadway" means that portion of a highway improved, designed, or ordinarily used for vehicular travel, exclusive of the sidewalk or shoulder even though such sidewalk or shoulder is used by persons riding bicycles.
Stay on the shoulder to hitchhike where there is a safe place for someone to stop for you and you should be alright.
