It depends on what you mean by maintaining a Washington residence. If you actually have a permanent place of abode outside Hawaii (an actual house or apartment lease, for example) then you are a nonresident). If you merely kept a Washington driver’s license and used a relative’s address are your “permanent” Washington address, then you would be a Hawaii part-year resident.
