"A place of business in the state of Washington" as that term is used in reference to out-of-state political committees in RCW 29B.25.110 (1)(f) means the business is headquartered in or has a primary place of business in Washington state.

For example, if a national corporation headquartered outside of Washington state has retail outlets in Washington and that national corporation contributes $250 to an out-of-state political committee that is subject to reporting under RCW 29B.25.110, the out-of-state committee is not required to disclose the national corporation as a contributor under RCW 29B.25.110 (1)(f).
