If I start working as an independent contractor consultant (as opposed
to as an employee) in the State of Washington, what federal, state
and/or local paperwork and taxes am I required to submit on a monthly,
quarterly or annual basis.

I am not setting up a separate business entity, but rather will be
working as individual (or sole proprietorship I guess).  I know that I
must fill out a W-9 for any companies that hire me as a consultant. 
But beyond that I'm not sure what other federal and state
taxes/paperwork I'm supposed to be submitting.

Thanks
