Apply for the $100 city license here: https://www.filelocal-wa.gov/Default_FileLocal.aspx (Pilot program vendors will not need to pay the added $75 Mobile Food Vendor Application fee.) Email the WSFTA proof of your license. The city still needs to collect a license/registration from any “out of city” vendor whos projected revenue is less than $2K. The license fee will be zero. They can file in FileLocal at www.filelocal-wa.gov.
You can also apply for your city license by filling out and mailing the application form that you can download here. Be sure to check off that you are a Mobile Food Vendor and state that your Principal Business Activity is: Food Truck Pilot Program.
