well, you have a few options, either way itll cost $$$. fly down to cali, and fly back with them as checked baggage, fly down mail them to yourself at your new address, fly down and have a ffl mail them to a ffl near your new address arrange that ahead of time], drive down, and drive back with them in the trunk of your car.
as long as you are not a criminal, nor insane, and as long as you arent trying to transport short barrelled shotgun/rifle nor full auto, [etc] then you should be good to go. after you have been a resident for 90 days you can apply for a cpl.

California has far stricter rules on firearms than WA. So if your firearms were legal in California, they should be legal here. There is no registration in WA. When you move, bring them with you, and your good to go.

WA does require a permission slip to carry loaded in a vehicle.

Open carry is legal without a permit.

Anything else you need to know?

There is no residency requirement for a WA CPL. WA will issue a CPL to a resident of any state and to WA state residents with no minimum length of residency required. Once a person becomes a resident of WA, however, their out of state permits become invalid. If the firearms are sent to a WA FFL for transfer, the OP will need to prove WA residency to that FFL because a WA FFL cannot transfer any firearm to a CA resident.
