Mandatory 30 days jail (up to 364 days), $1,245-$5,000 fine, 2-year license revocation

Legal for adults 21+ (up to 1 oz usable, 7g concentrate, 16 oz edibles). Washington was one of the first two states to legalize recreational marijuana in 2012 (Initiative 502).
Washington legalized recreational marijuana in 2012, one of the first states to do so. The state has shifted toward treatment-oriented drug policy. However, federal law still applies — marijuana remains a deportable offense for non-citizens.
Simple assault (4th degree) — gross misdemeanor, up to 364 days jail, $5,000 fine
Assault 1st degree — Class A felony, up to life in prison. Assault 2nd degree — Class B felony, up to 10 years
Washington requires a duty to retreat before using deadly force in public. There is no stand your ground law. The Castle Doctrine applies in your home — you have no duty to retreat inside your dwelling. Force must be reasonable and proportional to the threat.
Washington allows vacation (expungement) of certain convictions. Misdemeanors: eligible 3-5 years after completion. Class B felonies: 10 years. Class C felonies: 5 years. Some offenses (sex crimes, DUI, domestic violence) are not eligible.
Washington uses a class A/B/C felony system. Class A (most serious, up to life) to Class C (up to 5 years). Washington has a persistent offender (three strikes) law requiring life without parole for a third serious felony.
Washington has progressive immigration policies. The Keep Washington Working Act limits local law enforcement cooperation with ICE. King County (Seattle) has sanctuary-like policies. However, federal immigration law still applies to all criminal convictions. DUI, drug offenses, and domestic violence convictions carry full federal immigration consequences regardless of state protections.
For Arab and Muslim community members with immigration concerns, it is critical to have an attorney who understands both criminal defense strategy and immigration consequences. A conviction that seems minor can lead to deportation, denial of naturalization, or loss of visa status.
