Washington State does not have a specific castle doctrine law on the books, however by precedent (see State of Washington v. Reynaldo Redmond and State of Washington v. Studd), there is no duty to retreat.

"The law is well settled," said the court in the Redmond ruling, "that there is no duty to retreat when a person is assaulted in a place where he or she has a right to be."
