Check with DMV for the forms
The forms are easy to find and available online from the WA DMV website.
The relevant section, a lost title, requires you to state you ‘lost the title’ then sign before a Notary below a line that says “I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the state of Washington that the foregoing is true and correct.If signing for a business, I have full authority to do so.”.

It also alerts to duplicates to prevent registration in multiple jurisdictions in order to escape collection efforts and to crack down on reregistration of stolen vehicles.
It might be awkward explaining how a Canadian vehicle had a ‘lost’ US title......
