Washington State has around ~308,000 residents enrolled in ACA exchange plans, 73% of whom are currently subsidized. I estimate they also have another ~29,000 unsubsidized off-exchange enrollees.

Combined, that's ~338,000 people, although assuming the national average 6.6% net enrollment attrition rate applies, current enrollment would be back down to more like 305,000 statewide.
