I know this question has probably been answered thousand times before
on this forum. I am based at s50 in washington with no instrument
approach or departure procedure. It is class G to 1200 and then class
e plus some class b around.

How can I depart IFR from this airport?


I'd try calling Seattle approach on 119.2. You're only 8 miles from SEA,
you may be able to get them on the ground at S50. Give it a try next time
you're at S50.

Incidentally, it's Class G to 700 MSL over S50, not 1200



Do i need to depart VFR and
stay below 1200 and pick up my clearance or can I get a void time
clearance, be responsible for my own obstacle clearance and separation
and depart essentially at 0/0 (if i ever thought that was a good
idea?)


Controlled airspace begins at 700 AGL and the base of Class B airspace is
3000 MSL over S50. If it's VFR all you have to do is avoid Class B airspace
until getting a clearance. If it's below VFR minimums you have to have an
IFR clearance before you climb into Class E airspace at 700 AGL.
