2)Yes.
So, technically:

(3) For the purposes of obtaining a valid driver's license, a resident is a person who manifests an intent to live or be located in this state on more than a temporary or transient basis

Note the difference with Texas:

You must prove that either your residence or your domicile is in Texas and that you have lived here for at least 30 days in order to apply for an original Texas noncommercial driver license or ID card.

Honestly, it's not too big a difference except that, in practice, Washington requires people without SSNs to verify their residence, which effectively means that their seemingly lax regulations, requiring only manifesting an intent to live in Washington, become like Texas' "your residence ... is in [Washington] ... and ... you have lived here for at least 30 days" standard.
