Can I buy a house in California without being a resident? Will I lose my Washington residency if I spend too much time at a house in another state?

Yes -- You can even buy homes in foreign countries if you wanted too. Are you going to live in the home as a primary residence, is it going to be an investment (rental) or second home -- and are you active duty military? If it is a second home and you spend the majority of the year in Washington and claim that to be "home" -- it should not change your current state residency. Contact your local government and ask the questions. It is best to be informed by the people to enforce the laws in your State!
