Oregon won't take anybody's, and might issue you a nonresident only if you're a resident of an adjacent state (WA, ID, CA, NV?).
I've had Columbia County in St. Helens recommended to me) as a place to apply for NR CCW, ditto Umatilla--don't waste your breath in Portland/Multnomah County.

wow that was fast, ok then can i lock it in my glove box while in oregon with ammo locked sperate?
according to the oregon firearms federation website, oregon doesnot recognize a washington ccp.
"Does a valid Washington State concealed pistol permit allow concealed carry in Oregon? I have searched the internet but have had no luck finding the answer. If you know where I could find the information I would appreciate it.
No it does not.
Oregon allows you to apply for an Oregon license if you live in a bordering state and can show a "compelling business interest" or "other legitimate" reason. Some sheriffs consider "self defense" sufficient.
The sheriffs have discretion which they don't have if you live in Oregon. If you should choose to apply and meet the criteria, remember you can apply to the sheriff of any county. Some are a lot more friendly than others."

glovebox would be a no no. anywhere within "easy access" to the driver is considered concealed and would get you into hot water. however, if you have a trunk, you can have as many guns in there you want.

Actually, I was told at my CCP class that in order for a weapon to be considered "concealed", it must be loaded, accessible, and hidden from sight. You can have it loaded and hidden, if it's in your trunk; you could also have it loaded and sitting on your seat in plain sight(although this could be difficult to explain to an officer during a traffic stop). Using this reasoning, it would be okay to have a concealed, UNLOADED gun that is accessible. I would say you need to keep your ammo inaccessible though. Jakk is correct though in that you can put your weapons in your trunk no problem.
Keep in mind I'm not a lawyer, and neither was the person who told this to me.

There is much debate I've seen on this idea as OR is an OC without a permit state (with the exception of a few cities like Hillsboro, Portland, and I beleive Salem,not sure on specifics sice I hace my CHL, so OC and CCW are premepted for permit holders), as well as keeeping it loaded and on the dashboard, or even loaded in a holster on your hip, but not covered (OR law specifically defines a gun "carried openly in a holster worn on the hip" as not being concealed), but to my knowledge, there is no real case law on this, so its going to be up to the LEO at the time, then whatever judge you may gert, etc. Probly a very risky, and likely expensive, proposition.
I would probly just keep it loaded in the trunk (legal), and strap it on whenever I exit the car, as long as you are not in a city that has a law against OC for those without a permit (Not sure where to find out which ones those are, try emailing the Orgon Firearms Federation. They should be able to tell you)
Open carry.org lists Portland as a city that has a ban against loaded firearms. Your best bet would be to abide by FOPA when in Oregon: the gun is unloaded and BOTH the gun and ammo are stored in the trunk if you have one or in a locked case if you do not have a trunk.
Otherwise, unless you are in a city with more restrictive ordinances, Oregon law does allow for a loaded weapon in a vehicle so long as it is not BOTH concealed and readily accessible such as in the glovebox.

What I would recommend you do is apply for an Oregon CHL. Btw, we've gotten reports that Multnomah County DOES issue for self defense reasons now.
