Age of consent in Washington state?
The law gets tricky, bear with this:
16 is the legal age of consent in Washington State.
However, This DOES NOT mean that a 16 year old girl can sleep with a 21 year old boy. In the state of Washington, though everything you read appears that 16 is the age, it fails to let you know that if the other person is is 48 months older it is RAPE OF A CHILD. So if you are 16 you are legally mature enough to have all the sex you want as long as your partner is 16-20 years of age or 17-21. Once you turn 18 you can go back to having sex with the person who you legally once had sex with if his age changes. In addition, at 14 you can get an abortion without your parents consent. You can get pregnant and tattoo'ed. But once your boyfriend reaches 21, you better have reached 18. I know this first hand.

How does a state of washington felon get their gun rights back?
An individual convicted of a felony other than a class A offense or sex offense can petition a superior court to restore the right to possess firearms provided the requirements of RCW 9.41.040(4) are met. The court has no discretion - if the petitioner qualifies, the court must grant the petition.
A pardon is an alternate method (and the exclusive method for class A felons and sex offenders), but is more difficult. This is a discretionary procedure, and the pardon must be based upon rehabilitation or innocence and cannot have ANY restrictions of gun possession.
There are many issues involving federal and state law. If you are uncertain about eligibility or the procedure involved, seek the assistance of a competent attorney.
Added: If you were convicted in federalcourt of a federal felony - the answer is definitely NO. Possession of firearms (including black powder arms) is forever prohibitted to federally convicted felons.
