Steps
Check RCW Chapter 70A.15 (sections 70A.15.3510–.3600) for the core wood-heating-device standards and burn-ban authority
Check WAC 173-433-120 (Department of Ecology rule) for the specific sale/exchange/giveaway prohibition on uncertified devices
Cross-reference ecology.wa.gov/air-climate/air-quality/smoke-fire/wood-stove-info for the plain-language summary and any pending legislative changes
Check for 2026 legislative activity — a bill (reintroduced in early 2026) proposes aligning state standards to federal NSPS and creating a voluntary state verification program — before citing the rule as static
Known gotchas
This is a statewide sale prohibition, separate from the county-level air-quality burn bans (see the Puget Sound burn-ban route) — a stove can be legally already-installed and burnable in a county with no active burn ban, yet still illegal to resell if uncertified
A bill reintroduced in early 2026 proposes changes to this framework; check the bill's current status before assuming the existing WAC text is final for the year
