The "Marine Area Rules" section of the Washington sportfishing booklet specifies: one line with two hooks max, and no barbs.

Nope

Bigbum Loc: Washington

Last time I checked MA area 13 two pole with license endorsement

No, except for marine areas where it is allowed. As stated below, area 13 allows two rods. That's the only area I've seen. But I think you can use two in Canada? This is all for salmon. Not other species.

Still not true, tulalip bubble fishery with two pole endorsement. I think there's quite a few places and should be a map under the details.

I've done it and overall I say it ain't worth it. To much of a cluster f.

Good luck if you do.

Ain't that the truth. Except when fishing Kings, I don't even set up the downriggers any more for the same reason. I catch silvers, pinks and sockeye in the 40 and under range using six inch dodgers and flies. It is easy to get them down 40 feet and less with just a weight. Rig: Braid line with weight slide. Use the lightest cannonball weight that will get rig down to where you want it given different currents.(a1/2 oz to 6 oz) Weights are easy to change out on slide with the safety pin. Followed the slide by a bead and chain snap swivel. That is my go to set up for Salmon and most other trolling in fresh or saltwater. I then have several leaders about 3 feet tied up and stored on foam discs, with 20 pound floro. I put a swivel on one end and a snap swivel on the other end. That allows me to put the dodger of my choice on the snap. I also tie up several flies (mostly herring flies) on leaders with 9 to 20 inch leaders and keep them on spools as well. I fish with a line counter reel.
Another advantage of this setup is that I can switch over to bottom bouncing gear or casting lures in minutes.
My entire salmon set up fits in one deep plastic fishing box with the weights all in a small plastic ammo box.

Yes, there is an exception for Marine Area 13, but that's way down by Olympia and not really "open water". I would suggest that it is not even Puget Sound, which was the topic of the question. Bottom line: best not to use two lines/poles.

No only in fresh water not salt water and in some fresh water it’s not allowed.
It’s in the regs better check you know how Washington is .

One of the simplest things you can do is download the "Fish Washington" app. It really is a great tool. Every time that you open the app, it will update which keeps you up to date on any "Emergency" regulation changes. If you update it once a week or so it does not take too long to update. Unless there have been major changes in the regulations it generally updates fairly fast. I heard that there is an updated version of the app available now. However, I could not find it in the Apple app store but that could just be me. Computers, Apps, and Smart Phones kick my butt on a regular bases.
