The simplest answer to that is "yes" but, once you decide to legally commercialize your production you will also need to jump through a lot of other hoops to satisfy the US Gov't. Your facilities must be defined and guarded from diversion. Your incoming raw materials need to be accounted for. Your equipment needs to comply with FDA requirements, etc, etc, etc.

No, it is illegal to produce distilled spirits without a license in the state of Washington. US Federal law makes it illegal to produce or sell distilled liquor without a license in all 50 states, so it doesn't matter what state you're in. A properly licensed distillery can make liquor according to traditional "moonshine" recipes, sell it in earthenware jugs or mason jars, and even call it "Moonshine" if they want ... as long as all the taxes are paid on it, the government is perfectly happy with this. If you mean that kind of moonshine, sure, it's legal; there are a few distilleries that do more or less exactly this.
