Are the International building codes available online somewhere?

International! I think you need the Ocean Shores building code!

Washington State has adopted IBC,

OK. Makes more sense then.

Suspicious though. Is Washington considering seceding and joining
Canada? Maybe they don't like it when they say they're from
Washington and people think DC, so they're cutting their ties.

what he needs is IBC plus any local
amendments.

The simplest solution is to tell the building official you would like
to make sure you are in compliance, can he please show the specific
code requirement. If it's there, he'll be able to show you. If it's
not, he might back down. Or maybe not, in which case you have to
decide whether you want to be a known PITA at the building department
or not.
