Yeah, Washington does not require that the seller take the plates, because the plates typically go with the car, not the driver. We've sold a couple of cars in Washington. It's the same way in Oregon--I've sold a car here and had the title of my current car (a WA vehicle) transferred to me (now it's an Oregon vehicle).
See, for me, it was the opposite...I'm the one with all the parking tickets. Whoops. But it was a Washington car being sold in Oregon, so I'm fairly sure the girl followed up with getting the plates changed.
