I have lived in WA and British Columbia. They DO have a reciprocating agreement. I believe OR is also in the mix with BC. The likelihood of being discovered is when you change insurance companies. If you keep your company you might get lucky.
Make sure you pay your ticket though, otherwise that opens up a new can of worms. They could suspend your license in WA for an unpaid BC ticket and not even notify you. You'll find out when you get pulled over.
Found on the WA DOT website.
RCW 46.23.020
Reciprocal agreements authorized — Provisions.
(1) The Washington state department of licensing is authorized and encouraged to execute a reciprocal agreement with the Canadian province of British Columbia, and with any other state which is not a member of the nonresident violator compact, concerning the rendering of mutual assistance in the disposition of traffic infractions committed by persons licensed in one state or province while in the jurisdiction of the other.
(2) Such agreements shall provide that if a person licensed by either state or province is issued a citation by the other state or province for a moving traffic violation covered by the agreement, he shall not be detained or required to furnish bail or collateral, and that if he fails to comply with the terms of the citation, his license shall be suspended or renewal refused by the state or province that issued the license until the home jurisdiction is notified by the issuing jurisdiction that he has complied with the terms of the citation.
(3) Such agreement shall also provide such terms and procedures as are necessary and proper to facilitate its administration.
[1982 c 212 § 2.]
