What exactly does Asia have that any new state so vitally needs such that it cannot survive without it? And I specify "Asia" because that's the only part of the globe a port on the East Coast would be good for. Goods coming from Europe, Africa, Western South America, or the Middle East would be far cheaper to arrive in port from New Orleans and then take a land route to the North West via train, which is exactly how such goods arrive now. I doubt many shipping companies would be very willing to go out of their way to try to service ports in Washington specifically with trade from the U.A.E.
What are you needing to import? If you need to import food from Mexico (which may be cheaper by land) or from Indonesia, then I very seriously question exactly how long this ethnostate would last. If you need to mass import oil, why not just base the ethnostate in Alaska instead, which is the fourth largest oil producing state in the U.S., voted for Trump by a 15% margin, has a port, has a tiny population of 737,000, and has a large fishing industry? Why not use the state of North Dakota, which is the second largest oil producing state in the U.S., has a tiny population of 760,000, and voted for Trump by a massive margin of 35%. Why not the state of Wyoming, which produces a massive 760 million barrels a year, mines 39% of U.S. coal, has a tiny population of 557,000, and voted for Trump by a massive 46% margin?
Washington State, by contrast, has an utterly huge population of 7.1 million, voted for Hilary by a margin of 16%, and is utterly dependent on oil imports for its energy supply. While Washington has an established agriculture sector and produces 69% of the nation's apples, I am skeptical as to whether it would be self-sufficient on the whole. Montana, North Dakota, and perhaps Alaska by contrast are definitely self sufficient and can sustain much larger populations, while Washington and Oregon are probably at or beyond capacity. Washington state does have a respectable petroleum refining infrastructure, but it imports its oil from Alaska and Canada, at which point you kind of have to ask why not just use Alaska for the Ethnostate, or a different U.S. Canadian border state if you were just going to pipe over your oil from Canada anyways? The only things Washington has going for it economically, besides the Aerospace industry, are things like banking, culture, and big tech – industries that are firmly in the control of the enemies of any new ethnostate, and which will be more of a hindrance than a help.

These states are net importers of oil, and I don't think apples are going to be enough to make it worthwhile.
All of this is of course besides the biggest problem with insisting on taking the ports of Seattle and Portland, which is the cities of Seattle and Portland themselves. The city of Seattle has a population bigger than that of Wyomming, almost as large as North Dakota, and about the size of U.S. state of Alaska at 730,000. It is well known as being a haven of leftist liberalism in the United States. It was the first city to ban plastic straws, it was the first city to enact a $15 minimum wage. It is, simply put, one of the main bastions of opposition to any possible ethnostate. It is not going to be easy, at all, to take. It will be extremely difficult to hold. On top of all of this, Seattle is right across the bay from U.S. Naval base Kitsap, which is the largest naval base in the region, and would be surrounded on all sides by the alleged new ethnostate. Portland Oregon is in basically the same situation, and really is not at all better for these purposes.
Do you believe that a landlocked ethnostate in Montana-North Dakota-Alberta will be given trade sanctions from the governments of the U.S. and Canada? If you have answered yes, then why do you believe that the U.S. will allow these states to succeed in the first place, when the last attempted secession was met with severe military force? And if you have answered this with “we will fight/we will wait until the U.S. collapses,” why not just pick an area that actually has a kind of possibility of repelling an invasion or will succeed anyways, like the American South and Texas? And after all of that, can you be so sure that a port wouldn't simply be blockaded by the U.S. Navy like the Confederacy was in the U.S. Civil War?
And if after all of that, you still absolutely insist that “there MUST be a port,” what is wrong with the Alaskan ports of Juno and Anchorage? That state isn’t swarming with as many leftists, and actually has resources.
Hungary is landlocked and is effectively an anti-globalist Ethnostate, and it gets along just fine. States like Germany in the World Wars had ports, but couldn't use them and still starved to death. Having a port is less important than picking a region that would actually support a white nationalist cause, and has enough energy and food production within its borders to not starve and freeze to death in the event of a trade embargo.
