It's in the regs on the multi-season permit page. In color to indicate the change.

I talked to WDFW on Thursday, they said September 1st and the remaining permits would only be available to the ones that applied for the permits.
A primary advantage of multi-season permits is the opportunity to apply for special permits in multiple areas and hunting methods. For example, a Western archery elk hunter could apply for muzzleloader permits in Eastern Washington. By not having the multi-season permit during the April – May application period, that advantage and thus a significant value of the permit is lost. I would pay $180 for an elk multi-season permit in April, but not in August.
I would still buy the multi-season elk tag if it were after the application period for special permits. My primary reason for wanting that tag is so that I don't have to decide between the archery and the muzzleloader seasons, but can hunt both. Having the option of applying for east side permits is far from a guarantee that you will draw one anyway. So I certainly would not pay $180 if my only reason for doing was so I could apply for east side permits.
I'm guessing that there will be at least 1 person, for whatever reason, doesn't buy their multi season elk tag, and I'll be there to scoop it up
