At this point, it's hit or miss. Some employees know the rules (which is, tax should be charged for BC residents) and some don't. I was just in the Seattle area July 30-Aug 1, and this was my personal experience:

Nordstrom Rack (Supermall in Auburn, WA): No tax
Gap (Supermall in Auburn, WA): No tax
Stride Rite (Bellevue Square in Bellevue, WA): Paid tax
LEGO Store (Bellevue Square in Bellevue, WA): Paid tax
Victoria Secret (Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood, WA): No tax

The one thing I didn't encounter was two stores in the same area - with one honoring no tax, and the other refusing to budge.

The people I went with also bought stuff (mostly at Seattle Premium Outlets in Tulalip, WA) and paid tax (because I was elsewhere and they didn't ask about getting no tax)! So just ask, cuz they're gonna charge you tax by default...
