Registration expired - should I worry?
My TC is registered in WA state. Due to storm damage (while in another state) several months ago it was declared "totaled" by the insurance co. They notified WA DOL that the vehicle was salvaged. ...

Only problem now is the license plate expires in Oct and I can't renew it since the vehicle is officially a salvage vehicle. Also, I can no longer purchase insurance for the TC since it's salvaged.
You can in fact Title/register a so-called "salvage vehicle" in Washington State, and I'd be much surprised if it was ineligible for insurance, as you seem to think. Suggest calling some County registrar re. the registration, and any insurer perhaps excepting the one that just paid off the claim re. insurance coverage.
I know here in NC that a salvage title just means it was declared totaled. We bought our son a car with a slavage title and like any other vehicle that had to be registered, it was no different.
