What are the residency requirements for income tax for Oregon and can I move to Washington temporarily to avoid this tax on a onetime retirement payout?

I am retiring at the end of 2018.  I hope to move to the Pacific Northwest, preferably Oregon.  I currently reside and work in VA.  I will receive a one time large deferred compensation benefit from my VA employer in early 2019.  Can I move to Washington State for part of the year to avoid paying income tax in either VA or Or on this lump sum?
