I am having the exact same problem!! I live in Tacoma, however I am applying to nursing school in Arizona. The HESI is required. I checked into several testing centers up here in WA which offer the HESI, HOWEVER, the nursing program I am applying to in AZ does not offer their exact HESI exam to be tested in WA state. And since I am not an applicant at a nursing program here, I cannot test with their applicants. It's very frustrating. I actually have to fly down to AZ next month JUST to take the HESI.
Okay, I was finally able to find out how to take the exam. First create an account at evolve.

On that site you will find the option to request eligibility. Email them with the info they request at [email protected]. Ask them who the contact is for an out of state school to order an exam in the state at which you live. ...... I recommend asking them who the contact is. They usually respond within 2 days.
They will reply that you are not eligible due to the school not ordering the test but will provide you with the appropriate contact info. Then forward that email to the nursing department with an explanation at the top of what you are requesting and your student ID at the school you are applying. They responded back to me within a day and sent me the step by step of what to do next. It outlines how to schedule and where to schedule.
I'm pretty sure this could also be done for other schools requiring this exam.

Hello everyone I just had a few question people might be able to answer for me. I am applying to schools out of state and majority of the schools require me to take the HESI EXAM. Instead of flying out of state does anyone know any schools in Washington that might offer the HESI entrance exam?
Thank you
