MD, best of luck in your fight with WA state. When the legislature is in session next I will certainly call my reps and let them know about this.
Until then, the 14th amendment may not apply in your case. It says: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
You're not a citizen of the United States, so depending on how you intend to apply this to your problem it may not help.
However (and this is OT for this thread), the 14th Amendment would apply to something like Oregon's concealed license, which is shall issue for residents and may-issue for residents of other states.
