Washington State relocation guide: car insurance, driver license (Korean license exchange), vehicle registration, taxes

When you move to Washington, you have 30 days to get a Washington driver license and register your vehicle, and you need the Washington license before you can register.

Washington currently has no individual income tax. This page summarizes official guidance from the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL), the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC), the Department of Revenue (DOR), the Attorney General's Office, the WA Cares Fund, Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (0404.go.kr) and the Korean Consulate General in Seattle. Fees and document rules can change, so check the source links before you go.
