Clerk's right, except this part which I can't figure out.

have the handgrun shipped back to Massachusetts to FFl dealer, then shipped back to FFl dealer in Washington.

You'd have to be there in MA in person to run the NICS check, etc, so shipping it to MA and directly back to WA would do you no good.
By federal law, you can only buy a handgun in your state of residence. And being you're from MA, I bet you can only buy a long gun in MA, too. I don't know for sure, but MA isn't exactly gun-friendly and I would expect their laws to restrict out-of-state purchases.
Your son cannot buy it and then sell it to you face-to-face, either, without transferring it to a MA FFL.
