This information that goes on your driving history is acquired by licensing agencies or by the clerk of the courts so it would appear that the out of state information reported to the DOL would also be put on your Washington driving record. Verify with the DOL to be sure though.

Hawaii and Washington State are both members of the Drivers License Compact so that means Department of Transportation or Hawaii’s court system will inform the WA Department of Licensing (DOL) of your out of state traffic citation.
If the Hawaii traffic ticket is put on your Washington driving record then your insurance provider can see it the next time they pull your Motor Vehicle Record. According to the WA Office of Insurance Commissioner insurance rating systems vary depending upon an insurance provider’s own guidelines but typically rate on factors including your driving history. To check if your out of state traffic ticket would affect your car insurance rates, check with a broker of your insurance provider about their rating system.

Most US states document on a motorist’s motor vehicle records (MVR) if an accident has occurred involving them, but typically they do not assign whose at fault. In Washington State, collisions involving non-commercial cars stay on a person’s driving record for five years from the date of the collision. Collisions involving commercial cars remain on the record for ten years.
The state of Washington document accidents on your driving record to show involvement, but the Washington Department of Licensing (DOL) does not determine fault for the collisions.
