I’d go to http://quotematcher.info/HealthInsurance/ get a quote from a bunch of different companies and ask if any of them allow it
YES
yes
Unfortunately yes. This is why the debate over whether gay couples can get health insurance is so ripe in the media. While you may not be able to get joint coverage, you may be able to get the same plan. This would be less confusing for you as the same conditions will probably apply (barring any pre-existing conditions).
Yes, you need to be legally married.
Yes, you must be married. If you are buying an individual plan in Washington State, there is no cost advantage to having a joint plan anyway. The price is the same whether you enroll in a family plan or two individual plans.
This depends on the health insurance companies you chose ther5e are several companies that don’t required for two persons to get married before they can get get joint health insurance. But most health insurance company requires two couples be married in able to get joint health insurance
