hi Allison,
you should be able to take their dcat file: http://geo.wa.gov/data.json and use the new harvester (https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server-harvester) to achieve this.
PS: in 2016 we released geoportal server 2.x (https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server-catalog), a complete rewrite using elastic as backend, no rdbms, and no more JSF. in return you’d have faceted search built-in (and configurable). here is a sample site: http://geoss.esri.com/geoportal2/#
kind regards,
Marten

The new ESRI Open Data sites, like the one at the State of Washington, http://geo.wa.gov, can be accessed using DCAT, like so: http://geo.wa.gov/data.json See ESRI Docs on Federating to CKAN
It looks like Geoportal Server v.1.2.4 can support DCAT output from the catalog, but not necessarily harvest from other catalogs. Likely need to upgrade to more recent version of 1.2.x https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server/wiki/Customize-DCAT-output https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server/tree/master/support/dcat
Looks like DCAT harvesting was added in 1.2.5 With Enhanced support in 1.2.6 And even more enhancements in 1.2.7:
Or, transition to v.2.x which has a new architecture. The harvester and the catalog are no separated into two products. There is no database backend and it uses Elasticsearch 5.x for Faceting http://proceedings.esri.com/library/userconf/proc17/tech-workshops/tw_438-26.pdf https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server-catalog https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server-harvester
