Yes. Both bride and groom must appear together at any county auditor's office to apply for a marriage license. You will have to pay a fee, which varies from county to county, and show photo ID. There is a mandatory 3-day waiting period before the license becomes valid. Witnesses are not necessary to apply for a license, but state law requires that at least two witnesses be present at the ceremony. Witnesses should be at least 12 years of age. Your ceremony can be performed in any Washington county within 60 days of application.

Can you get marriage license in Kansas and get married in Arizona?

You have to get married in the same state in which you obtained your marriage license. But you can apply for an Arizona marriage license if that is the state in which you have decided to get married. Just because you got a marriage license in one state doesn't mean you can't change your mind and apply to get married in a different state. But when you do get married, you have to have a marriage license in the state in which you get married. The marriage license is not recorded as a "done deal" until after the wedding, so it shouldn't be a problem.
