Mechanicals are legal for Turkey only.

Because the law was written back when expandable broadheads consisted of the Puckett's Blood Bucket and the Punch Cutter.  So failure rate was WAY high!!  Then it progressed to the Rocket broadhead which was better, but still failure rates were high.  And then some expandables came out that did not fully fold forward leaving the head barbed by all manner of speaking.  So the law had no real reason to change.

Currently I think the law hasn't changed because it's just not very high on the priority list of thinks to fight over.
It really is one of those rules that makes little difference.  If we really want to fight for something we should fight to eliminate the 6 grains per pound arrow rule, managing seasons better, controlling predation, or a whole host of more pressing issues that matter.  Worry about the "Who cares" rules later...IMO

Cabelas also carries battery powered duck hunting decoys and they are illegal in this state. Don't assume just cause they carry it that it means its legal.

Legal for turkey and hunters headed anywhere in the world other than the pacific northwest.  Plenty of customers out there that just like buying stuff because it's forbidden too

Cabelas also carries battery powered duck hunting decoys and they are illegal in this state.

They also carry muzzle loaders that shoot 209 primers.  Crossbows with mounted scopes.  A shoot pot full of barbed salmon hooks!  And buckshot smaller than #1...Etc...etc...

Not only is it all illegal in WA, it's all way over priced!

I'd shoot expandables if they become legal.  I might get a few for Idaho deer and carry this anchor of a bow I got around to try one out.  Then maybe wa elk next year.  I agree more important issues but it sounds like it up for discussion so maybe rhey figure it out.
