Talked to Washington State Licensing: 360-902-3600

The "transit permit" is good for one day. You can buy a "trip permit" that's good for three days for ~$30.

Cost Cutter Licensing is just across the Baine border crossing 360-332-7089.
I just came back last week without front plates. I just had a trip permit from Washington and binder insurance from ICBC.
