That state profile page doesn't highlight consumption statistics because that's not part of the standard short-form description produced by the Energy Information Administration. You have to visit other EIA pages to find out about a state's import-export electricity balance, like this one:

Overall, Washington's electricity net generation exceeds electricity demand in the state, and the excess power generated is sent to the Western Interconnection, a regional grid that stretches from British Columbia and Alberta in Canada, to the northern part of Baja California, Mexico, and across all or parts of 14 western states.
Washington is a net exporter of electricity. It produces more electricity than it consumes.
