No-the bride and groom have to take out a license to marry in whatever state they wish to be married in. Think of marriages in Las Vegas that people from all over the country go to and get married.
If you are a licensed, ordained, Minister, you can marry anyone in any state, but you have to be in the same state as the bride and groom.
I am also licensed and ordained.

If it were the other way around (ie- you were temporarily out-of-state and they were in state), that would be OK. But your license to marry is only valid in Washington and you cannot marry folks in another state. They would have to come to your state in order for you to marry them. You would have to be licensed to marry in whatever state they are located in.
