How long does it take to get concealed weapons permit in Washington state?

Answer 1

Please refer to RCW 9.41.070:

(1) The chief of police of a municipality or the sheriff of a county shall within thirty days after the filing of an application of any person, issue a license to such person to carry a pistol concealed on his or her person within this state for five years from date of issue, for the purposes of protection or while engaged in business, sport, or while traveling. However, if the applicant does not have a valid permanent Washington driver's license or Washington state identification card or has not been a resident of the state for the previous consecutive ninety days, the issuing authority shall have up to sixty days after the filing of the application to issue a license. The issuing authority shall not refuse to accept completed applications for concealed pistol licenses during regular business hours.

Up to, but not exceeding, 60 days.

At most thirty days under most circumstances.

Answer 2

State law says 90 days but most applicants if all goes well get theirs in roughly give or take a few weeks a months time.
