USE OF THIS MANUAL
The Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual provides comprehensive information on adult
felony sentencing in the state of Washington. This manual offers specific guidance on how to
determine the appropriate standard sentence range for an offense by identifying the
seriousness level of the offense and by “scoring” the person’s criminal history. This manual
also addresses reviews, modifications, and discharges of sentences, as well as vacating
conviction records. As an aid to judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys and other criminal
justice professionals, this manual also includes forms for use in “scoring” criminal history.
Adult felony sentencing in Washington is governed by the Sentencing Reform Act (SRA) of
1981, Chapter 9.94A RCW, as amended. This manual includes a digest of recent appellate
and Supreme Court decisions interpreting and affecting the SRA and is excerpted from the
Criminal Caselaw Notebook© courtesy of The Honorable Ronald Kessler (Ret.). Electronic
versions of the Criminal Caselaw Notebook may be obtained at no charge by e-mailing a
request to [email protected].
Persons interested in a comprehensive legal analysis of the SRA are advised to read
Sentencing in Washington, by David Boerner (Butterworth Legal Publishers) and the 2011-
2012 supplement to Washington Practice Volume 13A: Criminal Law, by Seth Aaron Fine
(West Publishing Co).
This edition of the manual has been updated to reflect amendments to the SRA enacted during
the 2023 Legislative Session. Earlier editions of this manual should be retained for reference
on offenses committed prior to the effective dates of the recently enacted legislation.
Copies of the 1984 through 2023 Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manuals and supplements are
available electronically on the Council’s website.

Bound copies of the 2011 through 2023 Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manuals are available

INTRODUCTION
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 27
Individuals meeting the definition of “offender” in RCW 9.94A.030 who committed felonies
on or after July 1, 1984, are subject to the provisions of the Sentencing Reform Act of 1981,
as amended (SRA). The goal of Washington’s sentencing system, which is based on a
determinate sentencing model and eliminates parole and probation, is to ensure that
individuals who commit similar crimes and have similar criminal histories receive equivalent
sentences. The enabling legislation, RCW Section 9.94A et seq., contains guidelines and
procedures used by courts to impose sentences that apply equally in all parts of the state,
without discrimination as to any element that does not relate to the crime or to a defendant's
previous criminal record. The SRA guides judicial discretion by providing presumptive
sentencing ranges for the courts to follow. The ranges are structured so that offenses involving
greater harm to a victim and to society result in greater punishment. Sentences that depart
from the standard presumptive ranges must be based upon substantial and compelling reasons
and may be appealed by either the prosecutor or the defendant.
The Sentencing Guidelines Commission (Commission) developed the initial guidelines and
continues to advise the legislature on necessary adjustments. The Commission is composed of
twenty-five voting members. Twenty are appointed by the Governor and include four
Superior Court judges; two defense attorneys; two elected county prosecutors; five citizens
(one of whom is a victim of crime or a crime victims’ advocate and one who was formerly
incarcerated in the state correctional system); one juvenile court administrator; one elected
city official; one elected county official; one person representing the interests of tribes; one
behavioral health professional; one person with knowledge of and expertise in academic
research in the field of criminology or sociology; and the chief of a local law enforcement
agency. Five voting members serve in an ex-officio capacity to their state positions: the
Secretary of the Department of Corrections; the Director of the Office of Financial
Management; the Assistant Secretary of the Department of Children, Youth, and Families’
Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration; the Chair of the State Supreme Court Minority and
Justice Commission; and the Chair of the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board. The Speaker
of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate each appoint two nonvoting
members from their respective chambers, one from each of the two largest caucuses in each
body.
The SRA mandated that the Commission develop and maintain computerized databases of
adult felony sentences and juvenile dispositions and conduct research related to adult and
juvenile sentencing. In addition, the Commission has traditionally assessed the prison, jail,
and community corrections impacts of proposed sentencing policy changes as part of the
state's fiscal note process.
The state legislature, in ESSB 5891 passed during the 2011 Legislative Session, transferred
responsibility for the sentencing databases, sentencing manuals, and statistical summaries
from the Commission to the Caseload Forecast Council (Council), effective August 24, 2011.
In order to carry out its mandate, the Council will continue to rely upon the cooperation and
assistance of the superior court clerks of all thirty-nine counties in the state. The clerks
transmit copies of Judgment and Sentence forms issued in all adult felony convictions to the
Council. The Council’s staff extracts data from the forms relating to the crime, the person
sentenced, the sentencing judge, the sentence imposed, and alternatives to incarceration,
where applicable, and enters the information into a computerized database. Using this
database, the Council produces and distributes descriptive reports on actual sentences and
28 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
analyzes the effects of changes in the law on prison, jail, and community corrections
populations.
The Council database is also the source of information used in preparation of annual statistical
summaries of sentencing practices and other reports and studies related to felony sentencing
in the state. Please direct questions about the sentencing manuals, databases, and sentencing
research to the Council’s office.

question of fact for the jury and that affirmatively establishes defendant’s theory, court
should give a lesser included instruction, State v. Coryell, 197 Wn.2d 397 (2021); here,
defendant’s testimony did not point to affirmative evidence supporting the lesser of
manslaughter as there was no evidence that victim was killed recklessly or that shooter
knew of and disregarded a substantial risk that a homicide may occur, RCW
9A.32.060(1); affirms State v. Avington, 23 Wn.App.2d 847 (2022); 8-1.
State v. Canela, ___ Wn.2d ___, 2022WL803396 (2022)

substantial step toward the commission of murder 1 and that the act was done with
intent to commit murder 1, jury also instructed on the definition of murder 1

is an essential element that must be included in the charging document; held:
premeditation is not an essential element that must be included in the charging
document for attempted first degree murder, State v. Orn, 197 Wn.2d 343 (2021),
overruling, in part, State v. Murry, 13 Wn. App.2d 542 (2020); 9-0.

adjudicated, DOC serves defendant’s lawyer with discovery; held: DOC policy calling
for dismissal without prejudice when a new charge is pending is discretionary not
mandatory; discovery may be served upon counsel, need not be given directly to
defendant; II.
State v. Frederick, 20 Wn. App. 1081, 506 P.3d 690 (2022)
Condition that defendant not engage in “sexual communication” with minors is
not vague; condition that defendant obtain CCO’s permission before entering a
“romantic relationship” is vague; Indeterminate Sentencing Review Board can impose
conditions that are reasonably related to the offender’s risk of reoffending, condition
that defendant submit to drug monitoring in sex offense is proper where defendant was
under the influence of marijuana at time of sex offense; condition that defendant not
access the internet without a monitoring device at defendant’s expense is proper where
defendant used the internet to contact victim, State v. Johnson, 197 Wn.2d 740 (2021),
cf.: Packingham v. North Carolina, ––– U.S. ––––, 137 S. Ct. 1730, 198 L. Ed. 2d 273
(2017); condition that defendant not possess “sexually explicit material” is not vague,
State v. Nguyen, 191 Wn.2d 671 (2018); condition that defendant not engage in a
romantic or dating or sexual relationship with anyone with minor children without
CCO permission is not vague, but see: State v. Geyer, 19 Wn. App.2d 321 (2021);
condition that defendant inform potential partners of his sexual offense history does
not violate his Fifth Amendment rights; condition that defendant not remain overnight
40 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
in a residence (as opposed to “premises”) without CCO approval is not vague, State v.

State v. Long, ___ Wn. App.2d ___, 505 P.3d 550 (2022)
Restitution for vacation and sick leave taken by the victim due to her injuries is
proper; I.
ROBBERY
State v. Derri, ___ Wn.2d ___, 2022WL2252282 (2022)
That portion of robbery statute that states “[s]uch force or fear must be used to obtain
or retain possession of the property, or to prevent or overcome resistance to the taking,
RCW 9A.56.190, is an essential element of the crime, disapproving, in part, State v.
Phillips, 9 Wn. App.2d 368 (2019), but, where challenged after trial the element can be
fairly implied by inclusion of the language “take…by…inmediate force…and fear;
affirms State v. Derri, 17 Wn. App.2d 376 (2021); 9-0.
SENTENCING
Pers. Restraint of Dean, ___ Wn.App.2d ___, 2023WL4783545 (2023)
Defendant is convicted of possession of drugs and robbery, receives
consecutive sentences, drug charge is vacated per Blake, defendant seeks credit for
time served on the VUCSA to apply to the robbery; held: defendant is entitled to credit
for time served on a vacated conviction when serving time for another offense; III.
SRA: MITIGATING FACTORS
State v. Kelly, 25 Wn.App.2d 879 (2023)
Where the offender score is reduced, State v. Blake, 197 Wn.2d 170 (2021),
but the standard range remains the same as the reduction is from 10 to 9, the judgment
is not facially invalid and resentencing may be time barred, In re Pers. Restraint of
Richardson, 200 Wn.2d 845 (2022); deadly weapon enhancements must run
consecutively, may not be mitigated at least for adults, State v. Mandefero, 14
Wn.App.2d 825 (2020), State v. Wright, 19 Wn.App.2d 37 (2021), but see: State v.

2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 41
State v. Ellis, ___ Wn.App.2d ___, 530 P.3d 1048 (2023)
At resentencing pursuant to State v. Blake, 197 Wn.2d 170 (2021) defendant
who committed murder at age 18 seeks mitigated sentence for youthfulness, trial court
declines stating it lacked authority, follows defense counsel’s standard range sentence;
held: while a court has discretion to impose a sentence below the standard range due to
an 18-year old’s youthfulness, State v. Nevarez, 24 Wn.App. 2d 56, 60 (2022) State v.
Mandefero, 14 Wn.App.2d 825 (2020), State v. Meza, 22 Wn.App.2d 514 (2022), here
error was harmless as court-imposed sentence requested by defense counsel; II.

Defendant who is resentenced as he was a juvenile at time of offense, State v.
Houston-Sconiers, 188 Wash.2d 1, 8 (2017), cannot appeal the resentencing if
sentencing court meaningfully considers his youth and sentences within the standard
range; II.
SRA: PROCEDURE
State v. Royal, ___ Wn.App.2d ___, 530 P.3d 573 (2023)
In presentence report defense counsel lists defendant’s priors, excluding two,
on appeal defense argues that none of the priors were proved; held: a defendant’s
assertion of his criminal history amounts to an affirmative acknowledgment, relieving
state of burden to prove priors, cf.: State v. Lucero, 168 Wn.2d 785 (2010); while state
failed to prove the priors that were not acknowledged, because defendant’s offender
score was 9+ and thus recalculated score would not impact standard range matter need
not be remanded for resentencing unless record showed that trial court wanted to
sentence defendant to low end, but cf.: State v. McCorkle, 88 Wn.App. 485 (1997),

SRA: SAME CRIMINAL CONDUCT
State v. Westwood, ___ Wn.2d ___, 534 P.3d 1162 (2023)
Defendant enters victim’s house, pushes her into her room, orders her to get
undressed, threatens to kill her, victim is nicked with defendant’s knife, defendant is
convicted of attempted rape, assault 1, argues same criminal conduct; held: court
looks to the statutory intent of the crimes, here separate and distinct charges were
brought, jury found that statutory intent for each was proved, objective analysis is that
42 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
the crimes did not have the same objective criminal intent, crimes did not further the
other crimes thus did not encompass the same criminal conduct, State v. Dunaway,
109 Wn.2d 207 (1987), State v. Chenoweth, 185 Wn.2d 218 (2016) ; reverses State v.

Defendant shoots victim from a car, is convicted of assault 1, RCW
9A.36.011(1)(a) and drive-by shooting, RCW 9A.36.045, argues same criminal
conduct; held; because assault involves a specific named victim and drive-by shooting
involves only that defendant created a risk to an unnamed other person the crimes do
not involve the same victim and thus do not encompass the same criminal conduct,
State v. Haddock, 141 Wn.2d 103 (2000); I.

State v. Green, 26 Wn.App.2d 517 (2023)
Sentencing court includes two prior convictions in offender score where state
was unable to prove the date defendant was released to establish that more than five
years had passed, RCW 9.94A.525(2)(c) (2017, 2023); held: the court may rely on a
judgment and sentence to establish the impossibility that an offense has washed and
thus the state need to prove the actual release date, cf.: State v. Havens, 171 Wn.App.
220 (2012); III.
SEX OFFENSES

Detective poses on Craigslist as the mother of two children seeking sex,
defendant responds, is arrested at the place he was to meet the mother and children, is
convicted of two counts of attempted child molestation, argues same criminal conduct;
held: crimes affecting more than one victim cannot encompass the same criminal
conduct, State v. Canter, 17 Wn.App.2d 728 (2021), State v. Lessley, 118 Wn.2d 773,
777 (1992); I.
State v. Reedy, 26 Wn.App.2d 379 (2023)
In multiple count sexual assault case trial court does not give “separate and
distinct” instruction but prosecutor’s closing argument describes each incident as
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 43
separate and that, to convict, jury must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that
three separate incidents occurred; held: where it is manifestly apparent from evidence,
arguments and instructions that state is not seeking to impose multiple punishments for
the same offense and that each count is based on a separate act there is no double
jeopardy violation, State v. Mutch, 171 Wn.2d 646, 661-66 (2011), State v. Land, 172

Eighth Amendment, disposition court did not have discretion to waive registration; II.
State v. Aguilar, ___ Wn.App.2d ___, 534 P.3d 360 (2023)
Defendant is convicted of rape 1, information alleges, as an alternative means,
that complainant was “situated” in the building, RCW 9A.44.040(1)(d), evidence
establishes she was not in the building, no unanimity instruction was given thus
reversed; evidence described two distinct instances of rape but jury was not instructed
that it had to unanimously agree as to which act constituted the single rape offense,
thus reversed; if state chooses to retry rape case upon remand court may not instruct
jury on the insufficiently proven alternative means, felonious entry, prohibited by
double jeopardy clause; I.
State v. Crossguns, ___ Wn.2d ___, 505 P.3d 529 (2022)
While evidence of collateral misconduct relating to a specific victim, including
prior uncharged acts of sexual conduct, remains admissible under ER 404(b), “lustful
disposition” is not a separate purpose for admitting evidence; the phrase “lustful
disposition” is “incorrect and harmful” even though the evidence that has come in
under the doctrine remains admissible; overrules or modifies State v. Medcalf, 58 Wn.

State v. Braun, ___ Wn. App.2d ___, 502 P.3d 884 (2022)
For purposes of human trafficking, RCW 9A.40.100 (2017), physical assaults
constitute “force;” even if defendant didn’t personally use “force, fraud or coercion”
evidence is sufficient as long as he knew someone would use such means; defendant
may be both perpetrator of the force, fraud or coercion and the beneficiary of the
sexual act; withholding drugs from an addict to get her to commit prostitution is
coercion; promises of marriage if victim commits prostitution constitutes fraud; III.

conditions that are reasonably related to the offender’s risk of reoffending, condition
that defendant submit to drug monitoring in sex offense is proper where defendant was
under the influence of marijuana at time of sex offense; condition that defendant not

SECTION 3
SENTENCING GUIDELINES
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 47
This section explains the rules for applying the sentencing guidelines to felony crimes
committed after June 30, 1984, including changes enacted by the 2023 legislative session.
DETERMINING FELONY CLASS
Felonies defined in Title 9A and Title 9 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) fall into
one of three classes: Class A, Class B or Class C. The class of these felonies is either defined
explicitly as part of the definition of the offense, or implicitly, based on the statutory
maximum period of incarceration. The felony class is used to determine the washout period
(RCW 9.94A.525(2)), vacation of conviction record (RCW 9.94A.640), status as a violent
offense (RCW 9.94A.030(58)), length of certain enhancements, statutory maximum period of
incarceration, along with other determinations.
Felonies Defined in Title 9A RCW
Felonies defined by Title 9A RCW have an A, B or C class designation explicitly
stated. These felonies carry the following maximum penalties (RCW 9A.20.021):
Class A Life in prison, $50,000 fine
Class B Ten years in prison, $20,000 fine
Class C Five years in prison, $10,000 fine
Felonies Defined outside Title 9A RCW
Some felonies are defined outside Title 9A RCW without an explicit felony class. The
1996 Legislature
1
enacted RCW 9.94A.035, establishing the classes of such offenses
for SRA purposes. The class is based on the maximum period of incarceration
provided for the first conviction of violating the statute creating the offense:
Class A 20 years or more
Class B Eight or more, less than 20 years
Class C Less than eight years
Therefore, statutes increasing the maximum sentence for subsequent convictions do
not affect the classification of the offense for SRA purposes, even though they
increase the maximum sentence that may be imposed.
Felonies for which no maximum punishment is specifically prescribed are punished by
confinement for not more than ten years and a fine not to exceed $20,000 or both and
are classified as Class B felonies (RCW 9.92.010).
DETERMINING THE OFFENSE SERIOUSNESS LEVEL
The offense of conviction determines the offense seriousness level.
1
Historically, RCW 9A.20.040 was used to determine the class of these “unclassed” offenses for SRA sentencing purposes, based on the
same relationship between the offense and the maximum sentence as shown. A 1995 decision of the Court of Appeals, Division II (State v.
Kelley, 77 Wn. App. 66) held that RCW 9A.20.040 should not be used to determine the class of crimes defined outside Title 9A, or where the
statutory maximum has been doubled as a result of sentencing enhancements. The 1996 legislation was intended to be consistent with the
Kelley decision.
48 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
General Felony Crimes
The seriousness level is measured on the vertical axis of the sentencing guidelines grid
(Section 4, page 85). Offenses are divided into 16 seriousness levels ranging from low
(Level I) to high (Level XVI). RCW 9.94A.515 lists the crimes within each
seriousness level (Section 4, page 87).
This edition of the Sentencing Manual includes the grids applicable to offenses
committed after July 24, 1999, as well as the 2023 changes to the list of offenses
ranked on the adult felony sentencing grid. Previous versions of the grid can be found
in Section 4.
On the grid, numbers in the first horizontal row of each seriousness category represent
sentencing midpoints in months (m). Numbers in the second and third rows represent
standard sentencing ranges in months, or in days if so designated. 12+ represents one
year and one day.
Drug Crimes
Drug offenses committed on or after July 1, 2003, are divided into three seriousness
levels and sentenced according to the drug grid (Section 4, page 94). RCW 9.94A.518
lists the crimes within each seriousness level (Section 4, page 95).
Unranked Felony Crimes
Some felonies are not included in the Seriousness Level table and are referred to as
“unranked”. Sentences for unranked felonies are entered without reference to a standard
sentence range and do not require sentence calculations. The sentencing options for
unranked felonies are described in Section 3, page 58.
DETERMINING THE OFFENDER SCORE
The offender score (RCW 9.94A.525), which is one factor affecting a felony sentence, is
measured on the horizontal axis of the sentencing guidelines grid. An individual may receive
from 0 to 9+ points on that axis. In general, the number of points received depends on five
factors: (1) the number of prior criminal convictions or juvenile dispositions for countable
offenses; (2) the relationship between any prior offense(s) and the current offense of
conviction; (3) the presence of other current convictions; (4) the person’s community custody
status at the time the crime was committed; and (5) the length of crime-free behavior between
offenses.
CRIMINAL HISTORY COLLECTION
Pursuant to RCW 9.94A.030(11), criminal history includes the defendant's prior adult
convictions and juvenile court dispositions, whether in this state, in federal court, or
elsewhere, and any issued certificates of restoration of opportunity. Although criminal history
consists almost exclusively of felony convictions, in some instances, it also includes
misdemeanors. The effect of criminal history also relates to the felony class of the crime
(Class A, Class B or Class C), and the type (i.e., serious violent, violent, nonviolent, sex, etc.)
of the offense. Lists of such felony offenses can be found in Section 4.
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 49
Adult Criminal History
The Criminal Justice Information Act (Chapter 10.98 RCW) established the
Washington State Patrol Identification and Criminal History Section (the Section) as
the primary source of information on state felony conviction histories. The Act directs
judges to ensure that felony defendants are fingerprinted, and that arrest and
fingerprint forms are transmitted to the Washington State Patrol (RCW 10.98.050(2)).
After filing charges, prosecutors contact the Section for a person’s Washington
criminal history. Prosecutors also obtain out-of-state or federal criminal history
information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation or other appropriate sources.
A conviction is defined as a verdict of guilty, a finding of guilty, or an acceptance of a
plea of guilty. RCW 9.94A.525(1) defines a prior conviction as one existing before the
date of the sentencing for the offense for which the offender score is being computed.
Convictions entered or sentenced on the same date as the conviction for which the
offender score is being computed are deemed "other current offenses" within the
meaning of RCW 9.94A.589.
Prior adult convictions should be counted as criminal history unless:
“Wash out” provisions apply; or
A court has previously determined that they constituted “same criminal
conduct” as defined by RCW 9.94A.589; or
They were not previously deemed “same criminal conduct”, but their sentences
were served concurrently, and a court now determines that they were
committed at the same time, in the same place, and involved the same victim;
or
The sentences were served concurrently, and they were committed before July
1, 1986.
RCW 9.94A.030(11) provides that, when the information is available, criminal history
should include the length and terms of any probation and/or incarceration. This
information is often collected as part of the Pre-sentence Investigation Report that may
be ordered by the court in certain sentences (RCW 9.94A.500 and 9.94A.695).
Juvenile Criminal History
Felony dispositions in juvenile court for any Class A sex offense, Murder 1, or
Murder 2, are the only offenses to be counted as criminal history for purposes of
scoring adult offenses committed after July 22, 2023. For offenses committed prior to
July 23, 2023, all felony dispositions in juvenile court must be counted as criminal
history for purposes of adult sentencing except under the general “wash-out”
provisions. Juvenile offenses sentenced on the same day must be counted separately
unless they constitute the “same criminal conduct” as defined in RCW
9.94A.589(1)(a) or unless the date(s) of the offenses were prior to July 1, 1986.
Although juvenile records generally are sealed, RCW 13.50.050(10) provides that
after a charge has been filed, juvenile offense records of an adult criminal defendant or
witness in an adult criminal proceeding shall be released upon request to the
prosecution and defense counsel, subject to the rules of discovery. A charging of an
adult felony subsequent to the sealing has the effect of nullifying the sealing order of a
juvenile record.
50 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
"Wash Out" of Certain Prior Felonies
The rules governing which prior convictions are included in the offender score can be
found in RCW 9.94A.525 and are summarized as follows:
Prior Class A and felony sex convictions are always included in the offender
score.
Prior Class B felony convictions, other than sex offenses, are not included in
the offender score if, since the last date of release from confinement (including
full-time residential treatment) pursuant to a felony conviction, if any, or since
the entry of judgment and sentence, the person had spent ten consecutive years
in the community without committing any crime that subsequently results in a
conviction.*
Prior Class C felony convictions, other than sex offenses, are not included in
the offender score if, since the last date of release from confinement (including
full-time residential treatment) pursuant to a felony conviction, if any, or since
the entry of judgment and sentence, the person had spent five consecutive
years in the community without committing any crime that subsequently
results in a conviction.*
Prior serious traffic convictions are not included in the offender score if, since
the last date of release from confinement (including full-time residential
treatment) pursuant to a conviction, if any, or since the entry of judgment and
sentence, the person had spent five years in the community without committing
any crime that subsequently results in a conviction.
Prior convictions for repetitive domestic violence offense, as defined in RCW
9.94A.030, are not included in the offender score if the person has spent ten
consecutive years in the community without committing any crime resulting in
a conviction since the last date of release.
* If the present conviction is felony driving while under the influence of
intoxicating liquor or any drug (RCW 46.61.502(6)) or felony physical control
of a vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug (RCW
46.61.504(6)), all predicate crimes for the offense as defined by RCW
46.61.5055(14) shall be included in the offender score, and prior convictions
for felony driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug
(RCW 46.61.502(6)) or felony physical control of a vehicle while under the
influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug (RCW 46.61.504(6)) shall always
be included in the offender score.
The Sentencing Reform Act permits vacating records of conviction under certain
conditions and provides that vacated convictions "shall not be included in the
offender's criminal history for purposes of determining a sentence in any subsequent
conviction." RCW 9.94A.640. Vacation of the conviction record does not affect or
prevent the use of a person’s prior conviction in a later criminal prosecution.
The eligibility rules for vacation of conviction record are similar to the “wash-out”
rules. Because the “wash-out” rules are automatic and do not require court action, an
offense will “wash out” before formal record vacation occurs. The main distinction
between vacation of record of conviction and “wash-out” is that, after vacation, a
person may indicate on employment forms that he or she was not convicted of that
crime.
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 51
Federal, Out-of-State or Foreign Convictions
In order for a prior federal, out-of-state, or foreign conviction to be included in
criminal history, and thereby affect the offender score, the elements of the offense in
other jurisdictions must be compared with Washington State laws (RCW
9.94A.525(3)). In instances where the foreign conviction is not clearly comparable to
an offense under Washington State law, or where the offense is usually considered a
felony subject to exclusive federal jurisdiction, the offense is scored as a Class C
felony equivalent.
SCORING CRIMINAL HISTORY
Once relevant prior convictions are identified, the portion of the offender score may be
calculated. The rules for scoring prior convictions are contained in RCW 9.94A.525. It should
be noted that the scoring rules for some offenses are calculated differently, depending upon
the category of the offense. Offense scoring forms can be found in Section 7 of this manual
and specify the correct number of points for prior convictions depending on the current
offense. The forms are intended to provide assistance in most cases but do not cover all
permutations of the scoring rules or are provided for all offenses. A thorough understanding
of the criminal history rules is important in order to use these forms correctly and to perform
calculations not covered by the forms.
General consideration should also be given to often-applicable exceptions to general scoring
rules. For instance, misdemeanors generally are not included in score calculations. Exceptions
exists in certain circumstances. Where the current conviction is for a felony traffic offense,
serious traffic offenses are included in the score
2
; and for felony domestic violence where
domestic violence was plead and proven
3
, misdemeanor offenses of repetitive domestic
violence are included in the score. In addition, if the present conviction is for Theft of a Motor
Vehicle, Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, Taking a Motor Vehicle without Permission 1˚ or 2˚,
prior convictions for Vehicular Prowl 2˚ are also included in the offender score.
Additionally, with present convictions of anticipatory offenses (criminal attempt, solicitation,
or conspiracy) prior convictions of felony anticipatory offenses count the same and are scored
as if they were convictions for completed offenses.

Exceptions to the general scoring rules
also exist for Burglary 1˚
5
, Burglary 2˚ and Residential Burglary,
6
for Manufacturing
Methamphetamine and other drug offenses,
7
for Escape offenses,
8
for Failure to Register as a
Sex Offender,

or for crimes involving the taking, theft, or possession of a stolen motor
vehicle

Prior convictions for felony anticipatory offenses (attempts, solicitations, and conspiracies)
are scored as if they were convictions for completed offenses. RCW 9.94A.525(4).
Finally, an exception should also be noted for convictions with a finding of sexual motivation.
A finding of sexual motivation changes the underlying offense to a sex offense as defined in

RCW 9.94A.030(47), changing the scoring rules and impacting the sentence options. This
scoring rule only applies to crimes committed on or after July 1, 1990 (RCW 9.94A.525(17)).
SCORING MULTIPLE CURRENT CONVICTIONS
Multiple convictions may also affect the offender score. For multiple current offenses,
separate sentence calculations are necessary for each offense because the law requires that
each receive a separate sentence unless the offenses are ruled the same criminal conduct
(RCW 9.94A.589).
Multiple Offense Scoring Steps
If the current offenses do not include two or more serious violent offenses arising from
separate and distinct criminal conduct, apply RCW 9.94A.589(1)(a):
Calculate the score for each offense.
For each offense, score the prior adult and countable juvenile convictions.
For each offense, score the other current offenses on the scoring form line
entitled "Other Current Offenses."
The court may find that some or all of the current offenses encompass the same
criminal conduct and are to be counted as one crime.
In cases of Vehicular Homicide or Vehicular Assault with multiple victims,
offenses against each victim may be charged as separate offenses, even if the
victims occupied the same vehicle. The resulting multiple convictions need not
be scored as constituting the same criminal conduct.
Convictions entered or sentenced on the same date as the conviction for which
the offender score is being computed are scored as "Other Current Offenses.”
Example: Assume that a person is convicted of one count of Theft in the First
Degree and one count of Forgery, with both offenses arising from separate and
distinct criminal conduct, and that the person had criminal history consisting of
one conviction for Burglary in the Second Degree. In this case, the rules in
RCW 9.94A.589(1)(a) apply, and the theft and forgery must be separately
scored. The prior burglary and the current forgery are included in the offender
score for the theft, resulting in a score of two and a sentence range of 3 to 9
months. The prior burglary and the current theft are included in the offender
score for the forgery, resulting in a score of two and a sentence range of 2 to 5
months. The sentence for each offense will run concurrently.
Example: Assume that a person is convicted of one count of Theft in the
Second Degree and one count of Possession of Stolen Property in the Second
Degree in a circumstance where both counts encompassed the same criminal
conduct, and that the person had no criminal history. In this case, the other
current offense is not counted in the offender score because under RCW
9.94A.589(1)(a) where current offenses are found to encompass the same
criminal conduct, those current offenses shall be counted as one crime.
Therefore, the theft and possession would both be scored with scores of zero,
with a sentence range for each crime of 0 to 60 days. The sentence for each
offense will run concurrently.
Example: Assume that a person is convicted on one count of Assault in the
Third Degree, with a criminal history consisting of adult convictions for Theft
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 53
in the Second Degree and Forgery and a single adjudication of Murder in the
Second Degree as a juvenile. Pursuant to RCW 9.94A.589(1)(a), the prior
Theft in the Second Degree and Forgery are included in the offender score as
one point each, and the juvenile Murder in the Second Degree also scores as
one point, resulting in a score of three points. The sentence range is 9 to 12
months.
If the current offenses include two or more serious violent offenses arising from
separate and distinct conduct, apply RCW 9.94A.589(1)(b):
Calculate the score for each offense.
Identify the serious violent offense with the highest seriousness level.
Calculate the sentence for that crime using the person’s prior adult and
countable juvenile convictions. Do not include any other current serious
violent offenses as part of the offender score but do include other current
offenses that are not serious violent offenses.
Score all remaining serious violent current offenses, calculating the sentence
for the crime using an offender score of zero.
For any current offenses that are not serious violent offenses, score according
to the rules in (A) above.
Example: Assume that a person is convicted of two counts of Kidnapping in
the First Degree and one count of Assault in the First Degree. These offenses
are classified as serious violent offenses. Assume further that these offenses
arose from separate and distinct criminal conduct and that the person’s
criminal history consists of one Assault in the Third Degree conviction. The
scoring for these offenses follows the rules in RCW 9.94A.589(1)(b). First, the
crime with the highest seriousness level must be identified and scored. Since
Assault in the First Degree is more serious (Level XII) than Kidnapping in the
First Degree (Level X), that offense is scored by counting the prior Assault in
the Third Degree as part of the adult criminal history. This calculation results
in a score of one and a sentence range of 102 to 136 months. The Kidnapping
in the First Degree convictions are scored using a criminal history of zero.
These calculations result in two sentence ranges of 51 to 68 months. The three
sentences will run consecutively.
If the current offenses include Unlawful Possession of a Firearm in the First or Second
Degree and one, or both, of the felony crimes of Theft of a Firearm or Possession of a
Stolen Firearm, score according to the rules in RCW 9.94A.589(1)(c).
SCORING STATUS WHILE ON COMMUNITY CUSTODY
The offender score also reflects whether the offense was committed while the person was
under community custody. An additional point is added to the offender score for crimes
committed on or after July 1, 1988, while the person was on community custody. RCW
9.94A.525(19). Community custody includes community placement and post-release
supervision as defined in RCW 9.94A.030.
54 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
DETERMINING THE STANDARD RANGE USING THE SENTENCING
GRID
Once the offense seriousness level has been determined and the offender score has been
calculated, the presumptive standard sentence range may be identified on the appropriate
sentencing grid.
The standard sentence range for any ranked offense not covered under Chapter 69.50 RCW
(controlled substances) is established by referring to the standard sentencing grid (RCW
9.94A.510). For each current offense, the intersection of the column defined by the offender
score and the row defined by the offense seriousness level determines the standard sentence
range. Alternatively, the same range is identified on the individual offense scoring forms
provided in this manual. In those cases where the presumptive sentence duration exceeds the
statutory maximum sentence for the offense, the statutory maximum sentence is the
presumptive sentence unless the person has been sentenced as a persistent offender. If the
addition of a firearm or other deadly weapon enhancement increases the sentence so that it
would exceed the statutory maximum for the offense, the portion of the sentence representing
the enhancement may not be reduced (See RCW 9.94A.599).
Sentences Imposed for Aggravated First Degree Murder on or after June 1, 2014,
REGARDLESS OF THE DATE OF THE OFFENSE, should be calculated and
entered in accordance with the sentencing grid in Section 4, page 85 of this manual
and as set forth in RCW 9.94A.510.
Sentences Imposed on or after July 1, 2013, for Drug Crimes, REGARDLESS OF
THE DATE OF THE OFFENSE, should be calculated and entered in accordance
with the drug sentencing grid in Section 4, page 94 of this manual and as set forth in
RCW 9.94A.517.
Sentences Imposed before July 1, 2013, for Drug Crimes committed on or after
July 1, 2003, should be calculated and entered in accordance with the drug sentencing
grid in Section 4, page 101 of this manual.
Sentences for crimes committed on or after July 25, 1999, and not affected by the
2002 amendments to the SRA, should be determined according to the sentencing grid
in Section 4, page 85.
Sentences for crimes committed on or after July 27, 1997, and before July 25,
1999, should be determined according to the sentencing grid in Section 4, page 97.
Sentences for crimes committed on or after July 1, 1990, and before July 27, 1997,
should be determined according to the sentencing grid in Section 4, page 98.
Sentences for crimes committed prior to July 1, 1990, should be determined
according to the sentencing grid in Section 4, page 99.
Anticipatory of Non-Violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act (VUCSA)
Offenses (Attempts, Conspiracies, and Solicitations)
The standard sentence range for persons convicted of an anticipatory felony offense
(criminal attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy) is 75% of the standard sentence range of
the completed offense, determined by using the offender score and offense seriousness
level (RCW 9.94A.595). For aid in calculating the range, refer to the anticipatory
offense grids in Section 4.
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 55
Criminal Attempt (RCW 9A.28.020)
A person is guilty of an attempt to commit a crime if, with intent to commit a
specific crime, he or she does any act which is a substantial step toward the
commission of that crime.
If the conduct in which a person engages otherwise constitutes an attempt to
commit a crime, it is no defense to a prosecution of such attempt that the crime
charged to have been attempted was, under the attendant circumstances,
factually or legally impossible of commission.
An attempt to commit a crime is a Class A felony when the crime is:
Murder in the First Degree,
Murder in the Second Degree,
Arson in the First Degree,
Child Molestation in the First Degree,
Indecent Liberties by Forcible Compulsion,
Rape in the First Degree,
Rape in the Second Degree,
Rape of a Child in the First Degree, or
Rape of a Child in the Second Degree;
Class B felony when the crime attempted is a Class A felony other than an
offense listed above;
Class C felony when the crime attempted is a Class B felony;
Gross misdemeanor when the crime attempted is a Class C felony;
Misdemeanor when the crime attempted is a gross misdemeanor or
misdemeanor.
Criminal Solicitation (RCW 9A.28.030)
A person is guilty of criminal solicitation when, with intent to promote or
facilitate the commission of a crime, he or she offers to give or gives money or
other thing of value to another to engage in specific conduct which would
constitute such crime, or which would establish complicity of such other
person in its commission or attempted commission had such crime been
attempted or committed.
Criminal solicitation shall be punished in the same manner as criminal attempt
under RCW 9A.28.020.
Criminal Conspiracy (RCW 9A.28.040)
A person is guilty of criminal conspiracy when, with intent that conduct constituting a
crime be performed, he or she agrees with one or more persons to engage in or cause
the performance of such conduct, and any one of them takes a substantial step in
pursuance of such agreement.
It shall not be a defense to criminal conspiracy that the person or persons with whom
the accused is alleged to have conspired:
Has not been prosecuted or convicted; or
Has been convicted of a different offense; or
56 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
Is not amenable to justice; or
Has been acquitted; or
Lacked the capacity to commit an offense; or
Is a law enforcement officer or other government agent who did not intend that
a crime be committed.
Criminal conspiracy is a:
Class A felony when an object of the conspiratorial agreement is Murder in the
First Degree;
Class B felony when an object of the conspiratorial agreement is a Class A
felony other than Murder in the First Degree;
Class C felony when an object of the conspiratorial agreement is a Class B
felony;
Gross misdemeanor when an object of the conspiratorial agreement is a Class
C felony;
Misdemeanor when an object of the conspiratorial agreement is a gross
misdemeanor or misdemeanor.
Anticipatory Offenses (RCW 9.94A.595)
For persons convicted of the anticipatory felony offenses of criminal attempt,
solicitation, or conspiracy under Chapter 9A.28 RCW, the presumptive sentence is
determined by locating the sentencing grid sentence range defined by the appropriate
offender score and the seriousness level of the crime and multiplying the upper and
lower range values by 75% to produce the anticipatory sentencing range.
In calculating an offender score, count each prior conviction as if the present
conviction were for the completed offense. When these convictions are used as
criminal history, score the same as a completed offense.
Anticipatory VUCSA Offenses (Attempts, Conspiracies, and Solicitations)
The calculation of sentences stemming from anticipatory VUCSA offenses (Chapter
69.50 RCW) presents different challenges than calculating sentences for anticipatory
offenses arising under the criminal code.
An attempt or conspiracy to commit a VUCSA offense is specifically addressed in
RCW 69.50.407, which provides that such offenses are punishable by
"...imprisonment or fine or both which may not exceed the maximum punishment
prescribed for the offense..." The appellate courts have consistently held that for
VUCSA offenses, RCW 69.50.407 takes precedence over Chapter 9A.28 RCW.
Although current statute and caselaw should be reviewed for definitive guidance in
this area, the following summarizes current sentencing practices.
An attempt or conspiracy to commit a VUCSA offense is typically sentenced as an
“unranked” offense (0-12 months). In State v. Mendoza, the Court of Appeals held that
as “a conspiracy conviction under RCW 69.50.407 has no sentencing directions from
the Legislature, it is punished under the unspecified crimes provisions of RCW
9.94A.505(2)(b).” 63 Wn. App. 373 (1991).
A solicitation to commit a VUCSA offense is not specifically addressed in Chapter
69.50 RCW. It is usually charged under Chapter 9A.28 RCW and sentenced under
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 57
RCW 9.94A.517 at 75% of the standard range. Solicitations to commit VUCSA
offenses are not considered “drug offenses” but do score as such and are subject to the
multiple “scoring” requirement. See RCW 9.94A.525(4), (6) and State v. Howell, 102
Wn. App. 288, 6 P. 3d 1201 (2000).
Table 1 presents the current status of statute and caselaw on appropriate sentence
ranges for anticipatory VUCSA offenses.

Delivery Definition (RCW 69.50.101(i))
“Deliver” or “delivery” means the actual or constructive transfer from one person to
another of a substance, whether or not there is an agency relationship.
Criminal Conspiracy (RCW 69.50.407)
Any person who attempts or conspires to commit any offense defined in this chapter is
punishable by imprisonment or fine or both which may not exceed the maximum
punishment prescribed for the offense, the commission of which was the object of the
attempt or conspiracy.
Criminal Solicitation (RCW 9A.28.030)
A person is guilty of criminal solicitation when, with intent to promote or facilitate the
commission of a crime, he or she offers to give or gives money or other thing of value
to another to engage in specific conduct which would constitute such crime, or which
would establish complicity of such other person in its commission or attempted
commission had such crime been attempted or committed.
Criminal solicitation shall be punished in the same manner as criminal attempt under
RCW 9A.28.020.
The Washington State Court of Appeals ruled that although VUCSA offenses are not
considered drug offenses as defined in 9.94A.030, they do score as a drug offense. See
State v. Howell, 102 Wn. App. 288, 6 P.3d 1201 (2000).
The Supreme Court clarified that solicitations to commit VUCSA offenses are not
“drug offenses” and are not subject to the community custody requirement for drug
offenses, under RCW 9.94A.701 and 9.94A.702. See In re Hopkins, 137 Wn.2d 897
(1999).
*
If a standard sentence range has not been established for the offender's crime, the court shall impose a determinate
sentence which may include not more than one year of confinement; community restitution work; a term of
community custody under RCW 9.94A.702 not to exceed one year; and/or other legal financial obligations. The
court may impose a sentence which provides more than one year of confinement and a community custody term
under 9.94A.701 if the court finds reasons justifying an exceptional sentence as provided in RCW 9.94A.535.
**
Solicitations drop one class from the underlying offense (e.g., a solicitation to commit a Class B felony is a
Class C felony). Solicitations to commit Class C felonies are gross misdemeanors.
58 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
SECOND OR SUBSEQUENT DRUG OFFENSE (RCW 69.50.408)
Any person convicted of a second or subsequent offense under this chapter may be
imprisoned for a term up to twice the term otherwise authorized, fined an amount up
to twice that otherwise authorized, or both.
For purposes of this section, an offense is considered a second or subsequent offense,
if, prior to his or her conviction of the offense, the individual has at any time been
convicted under this chapter or under any statute of the United States or of any state
relating to narcotic drugs, cannabis, depressant, stimulant, or hallucinogenic drugs.
This section does not apply to offenses under RCW 69.50.4013.
TERMS OF CONFINEMENT
Standard Range Sentence
The sentencing grid prescribes the standard sentence range for most of the commonly
charged felonies. RCW 9.94A.599 provides that if the presumptive sentence duration
given in the sentencing grid exceeds the statutory maximum sentence for the offense,
the statutory maximum sentence shall be the presumptive sentence.
The ranges in the sentencing grid are expressed in terms of total confinement. A court
may convert total confinement sentences to partial confinement or community service
in some sentences.
Location Where Sentenced is Served (RCW 9.94A.190)
Sentences are served at a state facility or institution when the sentence imposed is:
A term of confinement is at least one year and one day (12+),
A Drug Offender Sentencing Alternative which has a standard range of over one year,
Any sex offense sentenced under RCW 9.94A.507, or
A felony with a term of confinement of one year or less and the person sentenced is
committed or returned to confinement in a state facility on another felony conviction
with confinement greater than one year.
Sentences are served at a local facility or institution when the sentence imposed is a
term of one year or less (other than those described above).
“Unranked” Crimes
Convictions for “unranked crimes,” crimes without an assigned seriousness level, are
not subject to standard sentence ranges. In such cases, courts are required to impose a
determinate sentence which may include zero to 365 days of confinement and may
also include community service, legal financial obligations, a term of community
custody not to exceed one year, and/or a fine. Orders of confinement longer than one
year constitute exceptional sentences, which must be justified in writing (RCW
9.94A.505(2)(b); RCW 9.94A.535).
Persistent Offenders
Voters approved Initiative 593 ("Three Strikes and You're Out") in 1993. The law,
which became effective on December 2, 1993, established the penalty of life in prison
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 59
without the possibility of release for “persistent offenders.” The life sentence applies
to individuals sentenced under the “Three Strike” and “Two Strike” laws.
“Three Strikes”
The original “Three Strikes” legislation defined a “persistent offender” as a person
who is convicted of a “most serious offense” and who has at least two prior
convictions for most serious offenses that would be included in the offender score
under 9.94A.525. Adjudications in juvenile court are not counted as strikes. In order to
be applicable to the three strikes statute, the first prior conviction must have occurred
before the second prior conviction offense was committed. See Section 5, page 111 for
a list of the "most serious offenses" as defined by RCW 9.94A.030(32).
“Two Strikes”
The definition of persistent offender also includes life without parole sentences for
individuals sentenced under the “Two Strike” sex offense law. To qualify as a
persistent sex offender, an individual must have two separate convictions of specified
sex offenses. Adjudications in juvenile court are not counted as strikes. The 1997
Legislature broadened the list of offenses that qualify as strikes under the “Two
Strikes” law. The specific offenses qualifying as “Two Strikes” are enumerated in the
“persistent offender” definition in RCW 9.94A.030(37)(b) and can be found in Section
5, page 111.
A person convicted of one of these offenses, who has at least one previous conviction
for one of these offenses, must be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of
release.
Non-Persistent Sex Offenders (Determinate-Plus)
During the 2001 Second Special Session, the Legislature enacted 3ESSB 6151 – The
Management of Sex Offenders in the Civil Commitment and Criminal Justice
Systems. The resulting “non-persistent offender” system is also called “determinate-
plus”, but it is an indeterminate sentence (RCW 9.94A.507). A person must be
sentenced to an indeterminate term if he or she is not a persistent offender but:
Is convicted of:
(i) Rape in the first degree, rape in the second degree, rape of a child in the first
degree, child molestation in the first degree, rape of a child in the second degree, or
indecent liberties by forcible compulsion; or
(ii) Any of the following offenses with a finding of sexual motivation: murder
in the first degree, murder in the second degree, homicide by abuse, kidnapping in the
first degree, kidnapping in the second degree, assault in the first degree, assault in the
second degree, assault of a child in the first degree, assault of a child in the second
degree, or burglary in the first degree; or
(iii) An attempt to commit any crime listed in (i) or (ii); or
Has a prior conviction for an offense listed in RCW 9.94A.030(37)(b), and is
convicted of any sex offense, other than failure to register.
This sentencing rule does not apply to individuals seventeen years old or younger at
the time of the offense and who have been convicted of Rape of a Child in the First
Degree, Rape of a Child in the Second Degree or Child Molestation in the First
Degree.
60 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
A “determinate-plus” sentence must contain a minimum term of confinement that falls
within the standard range, according to the seriousness level of the offense and the
offender score, and a maximum term equaling the statutory maximum sentence for the
offense. The minimum term may also constitute an exceptional sentence as provided
by RCW 9.94A.535.
The following offenses have a minimum term that is either the maximum of the
standard sentence range for the offense or twenty-five years, whichever is greater, if
the certain criteria exist:
• Rape of a Child in the First or Second Degree or Child Molestation in
the First Degree, when there has been a finding under RCW 9.94A.836
that the offense was predatory; or
• Rape in the First Degree or Second Degree, Indecent Liberties with
Forcible Compulsion, or Kidnapping in the First Degree with Sexual
Motivation, when there has been a finding under RCW 9.94A.837 that
the victim was under the age of fifteen at the time of the offense; or
• Rape in the First Degree, Rape in Second Degree with Forcible
Compulsion, Indecent Liberties with Forcible Compulsion, or
Kidnapping in the First Degree with Sexual Motivation, when there has
been a finding under RCW 9.94A.838 that the victim was, at the time
of the offense, a person with a developmental disability or mental
disorder, or a frail elder or vulnerable adult.
A person sentenced as “determinate-plus” is eligible for earned release pursuant to
RCW 9.94A.729 and is given the opportunity to receive sex offender treatment while
incarcerated. Some individuals sentenced as “determinate-plus” are eligible for the
Special Sex Offender Sentencing Alternative as provided in RCW 9.94A.670, unless
they have committed Rape in the First Degree, Rape in the Second Degree or any of
the following offenses with sexual motivation: Murder in the First Degree, Murder in
the Second Degree, Homicide by Abuse, Kidnapping in the First Degree, Kidnapping
in the Second Degree, Assault in the First Degree, Assault in the Second Degree,
Assault of a Child in the First Degree, Assault of a Child in the Second Degree or
Burglary in the First Degree. Additionally, all sentences under this provision must be
served in prison, regardless of the sentence length.
Individuals receiving “determinate plus” sentences fall under the purview of the
Indeterminate Sentence Review Board through the maximum term of the sentence.
Those released from prison will be supervised by the Department of Corrections
(Department) and will remain on community custody through the maximum term of
the sentence and are not eligible for the Supervision Compliance Credit established in
RCW 9.94A.717.
EXCEPTIONAL SENTENCES
The standard sentence range is presumed to be appropriate for the typical felony case. The
SRA, per RCW 9.94A.535, however, provides that the court “may impose a sentence outside
the standard sentence range for that offense if it finds, considering the purpose of this chapter,
that there are substantial and compelling reasons justifying an exceptional sentence.”
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 61
An exceptional sentence must be for a determinate term and cannot exceed the statutory
maximum for the crime. An exceptional sentence cannot include a term less than a mandatory
minimum term of confinement if one exists. RCW 9.94A.540 sets a mandatory minimum
term of confinement for certain offenses. Per terms specified in RCW 9.94A.570, persistent
offenders sentenced to life in prison are not eligible for exceptional sentences.
Pursuant to the United States Supreme Court, before a court is permitted to impose sentences
above the standard range, “[o]ther than the fact of a prior conviction, any fact that increases
the penalty for a crime beyond the prescribed statutory maximum must be submitted to a jury
and proved beyond a reasonable doubt.” Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct.
2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004).
If an exceptional sentence is given, the sentencing court is required to set forth the reasons for
the departure from the standard range (RCW 9.94A.535) or from the consecutive/concurrent
policy (RCW 9.94A.589(1) and (2)) in written Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law.
Exceptional sentences may be appealed by the individual or by the state.
RCW 9.94A.535 provides a list of factors that the court may consider in deciding whether to
impose an exceptional sentence.
Mitigating Circumstances for Exceptional Sentences
Mitigating circumstances justifying a sentence below the standard range can found in
RCW 9.94A.535(1). The circumstances on this list are provided as examples only. It is
not intended to be an exclusive list of reasons for a departure below the standard
range.
Aggravating Circumstances for Exceptional Sentences
Unlike mitigating circumstances, an exceptional sentence that is aggravated must be
based on one or more of the circumstances listed in the statute. The list is not
illustrative.
The court may impose an aggravated exceptional sentence without a finding of fact by
a jury if the defendant and state both stipulate that justice is best served by an
exceptional sentence and the court agrees that the stipulation is in the interest of
justice and consistent with the Sentencing Reform Act under RCW 9.94A.535(2).
The court may also impose an exceptional sentence above the standard range if the
procedures specified in RCW 9.94A.537 are followed and a jury makes findings of
fact supporting any of the aggravating circumstances found in RCW 9.94A.535(3).
CONSECUTIVE AND CONCURRENT SENTENCES
RCW 9.94A.589 sets forth the rules regarding consecutive and concurrent sentences.
Generally, sentences for multiple offenses set at one sentencing hearing are served
concurrently unless there are two or more separate serious violent offenses, driving under the
influence offenses, or weapon offenses. In those cases, the sentences are served consecutively,
unless an exceptional sentence is entered (RCW 9.94A.589(1)(a-c)). The exceptions to this
general rule are as follows:
62 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
Offenses that Constitute Same Criminal Conduct
If the court enters a finding that some or all of the current offenses required the same
criminal intent, were committed at the same time and place, and involved the same
victim, the offenses are treated as one offense (RCW 9.94A.589(1)(a)). A departure
from this rule requires an exceptional sentence (RCW 9.94A.535).
Multiple Serious Violent Offenses
In the case of two or more serious violent offenses arising from separate and distinct
criminal conduct, the sentences for these serious violent offenses are served
consecutively to each other and concurrently with any other sentences imposed for
current offenses (RCW 9.94A.589(1)(b)). A departure from this rule requires an
exceptional sentence (RCW 9.94A.535).
Certain Firearm-Related Offenses
In the case of sentences that include Unlawful Possession of a Firearm in the First or
Second Degree and one or both of the crimes of Theft of a Firearm or Possession of a
Stolen Firearm, the sentences for these crimes are served consecutively for each
conviction of the felony crimes listed and for each firearm unlawfully possessed
12
.
(RCW 9.94A.589(1)(c)). A departure from this rule requires an exceptional sentence.
(RCW 9.94A.535).
Felony Driving while under the Influence (DUI) /Felony Actual Physical Control of a
Vehicle while under the Influence
All sentences imposed under RCW 46.61.502(6), RCW 46.61.504(6) and RCW
46.61.5055(4) shall be served consecutively to any sentences imposed under RCW
46.20.740 and RCW 46.20.750 (RCW 9.94A.589(1)(d)). Additionally, under RCW
46.20.740 and RCW 46.20.750, any sentences imposed under RCW 46.20.740 and
RCW 46.20.750 shall be served consecutively to each other, as well as consecutively
to RCW 46.61.502(6), RCW 46.61.504(6), or RCW 46.61.5055(4).
Under RCW 46.20.750, any sentences imposed under RCW 46.20.750 shall be served
consecutively with any sentence imposed under RCW 46.61.520(1)(a) or RCW
46.61.522(1)(b). However, this is not codified under RCW 9.94A.589.
Enhancements
For sentences involving the following enhancements, the enhancement portion of the
sentence is served consecutively to all other sentencing provisions:
• Firearm or other deadly weapon enhancements for offenses committed after
July 23, 1995 (RCW 9.94A.533(3) and (4)).
• Impaired driving enhancements (RCW 9.94A.533(7) and (13)).
• Sexual motivation enhancement for offenses committed on or after July 1,
2006 (RCW 9.94A.533(8)).
Felony Committed while under Sentence for Another Felony
Whenever a current offense is committed while the person is under sentence for a
previous felony and the person was also sentenced for another term of imprisonment,
12
Part of Initiative 159. Effective for offenses committed after July 23, 1995 (RCW 9.41.040(6)).
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 63
the latter term may not begin until expiration of all prior terms (RCW 9.94A.589(2)).
A departure from this rule requires an exceptional sentence (RCW 9.94A.535).
Felonies Committed while under Sentence for Another Felony
This rule applies when individuals face multiple charges or have multiple convictions
from different jurisdictions. Subject to the above policies, whenever a person is
sentenced under a felony that was committed while the person was not under sentence
for a felony, the sentence runs concurrently with felony sentences previously imposed
by any court in this or another state or by a federal court, unless the court pronouncing
the subsequent sentence expressly orders that they be served consecutively (RCW
9.94A.589(3)).
Probation Revocation
Whenever any person granted probation under RCW 9.95.210 or RCW 9.92.060, or
both, has a probationary sentence revoked and a prison sentence imposed, this
sentence runs consecutively to any sentence imposed, unless the court pronouncing the
subsequent sentence expressly orders that they be served concurrently (RCW
9.94A.589(4)). This rule applies when a pre-SRA case probation is revoked and he or
she is also sentenced on a conviction for a crime committed after June 30, 1984, the
inception date of the SRA.
Serving Total Confinement with Consecutive Sentences
In the case of consecutive sentences, all periods of total confinement must be served
before any periods of partial confinement, community service, community supervision
or any other requirement or condition of a sentence (RCW 9.94A.589(5)). This rule
applies to individuals who have not completed their sentence requirements from a
previous conviction and are sentenced to total confinement on a new offense. A
departure from this rule requires an exceptional sentence (RCW 9.94A.535).
LIMITS ON EARNED RELEASE
RCW 9.94A.729 provides that a person’s sentence may be reduced by “earned release time.”
This time is earned through good behavior and good performance, as determined by the
correctional agency that has jurisdiction over the individual. A person can be credited for “earned
release time” for time served on a sentence and during pre-sentence incarceration.
Earned release time of up to 50% for certain non-violent, non-sex offenses was effective July 1,
2003, and applied to individuals convicted prior to July 2, 2010.
Earned release time of up to 15% is allowed for an offense categorized as a serious violent or
Class A sex offense committed on or after July 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003.
Earned release time of up to 10% is allowed for an offense categorized as a serious violent or
Class A sex offense committed on or after July 1, 2003.
For sentences pursuant to RCW 10.95.030(3) or RCW 10.95.035, the time served during the
minimum term of confinement imposed by the court is not eligible for earned release time; for
any remaining portion of the sentence served, the aggregate earned release time may not exceed
10% of the sentence.
64 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
For sentences under the Special Sex Offender Sentencing Alternative, the time served for a
suspended sentence is not eligible to accrue any earned release time.
For the portion of a sentence that results from any firearm and/or deadly weapon enhancements,
sexual motivation enhancement, or impaired driving enhancements, earned release time is not
allowed.
For all other offenses, the aggregate earned release time shall not exceed one-third of the total
sentence.
Finally, no matter how much release time has been earned under RCW 9.94A.729, a person
sentenced for a crime that has a mandatory minimum sentence shall not be released from total
confinement before the completion of the mandatory minimum for that crime unless allowable
under RCW 9.94A.540.
REVIEW OF SENTENCES
Sentences within the standard range cannot be appealed (RCW 9.94A.585). These include
sentences imposed pursuant to the First-time Offender Waiver provisions found in RCW
9.94A.650. Sentences outside the standard range may be appealed by the defendant or by the
prosecutor.
Review is limited to the record made before the sentencing court. Pending review, the
sentencing court or the Court of Appeals may order the defendant confined or placed on
conditional release, including bond.
Before reversing a sentence that is outside the sentence range, the Court of Appeals must find
that:
The reasons supplied by the sentencing judge were not supported by the
record;
They do not justify a sentence outside the range; or
The sentence imposed was clearly excessive or clearly too lenient.
The Department may request a review of a sentence committing a person to the custody or
jurisdiction of the Department. This review must be limited to errors of law and must be filed
with the Court of Appeals no later than 90 days after the Department has actual knowledge of
the term of the sentence. The Department must certify that all reasonable efforts to resolve the
dispute at the Superior Court level have been exhausted.
A person convicted of one or more crimes committed prior to the person’s eighteenth birthday
may petition the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board for early release after serving no less
than 20 years of total confinement (RCW 9.94A.730(1)), provided the person has not been
convicted for any crime committed subsequent to the person’s eighteenth birthday, the person
has not committed a major violation in the twelve months prior to filing the petition for early
release, and the current sentence was not imposed under RCW 10.95.030 or RCW 9.94A.507.
RCW 10.95.030 mandates that any person who was sentenced prior to June 1, 2014, to a term
of life without the possibility of parole for an offense committed prior to their eighteenth
birthday, shall be returned to the sentencing court or the sentencing court’s successor for
sentencing consistent with RCW 10.95.030.
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 65
VIOLATION OF COMMUNITY CUSTODY CONDITIONS
A person under the supervision of the Department who violates any condition or requirement
of a sentence may be sanctioned by the court with up to sixty days' confinement for each
violation or by the Department with up to thirty days confinement as provided in RCW
9.94A.737.
Any time served in confinement awaiting the violation hearing must be credited against any
confinement order. If a court finds that a violation was not willful, the court may dismiss the
violation and regarding payment of legal financial obligations and community service
obligations or modify its previous order. In all cases of community custody escape, escape
charges may also be filed, if appropriate.
These rules and procedures apply retroactively and prospectively regardless of the date of the
underlying offense.
Arrest and Confinement (RCW 9.94A.631)
If a violation of any condition or requirement of a sentence occurs, a community
corrections officer may arrest or cause the arrest of the person without a warrant,
pending a determination by the court or by the Department. If there is reasonable
cause to believe that a violation of a condition or requirement of the sentence has
occurred, a community corrections officer may require the individual to submit to a
search and seizure of his or her person, residence, automobile, or other personal
property.
For the safety and security of Department staff, individuals under the Department’s
jurisdiction may be required to submit to pat searches, or other limited security
searches, by community corrections officers, correctional officers, and other agency
approved staff, without reasonable cause, when in or on Department premises,
grounds, or facilities, or while preparing to enter Department premises, grounds,
facilities, or vehicles. Pat searches shall be conducted only by staff who are the same
gender as the individual, except in emergency situations.
A community corrections officer may also arrest a person under the Department’s
jurisdiction for any crime committed in his or her presence. The facts and
circumstances of the conduct of the individual shall be reported by the community
corrections officer, with recommendations, to the court, local law enforcement, or
local prosecution for consideration of new charges. The community corrections
officer's report shall serve as the notice that the Department will hold the person for
not more than three days from the time of such notice for the new crime, except if the
underlying offense is a felony offense listed in RCW 9.94A.737(5), in which case the
Department will hold the person for thirty days from the time of arrest, until a
prosecuting attorney charges the person with a crime, or until the prosecuting attorney
notifies the Department that new charges will not be filed, whichever occurs first. This
does not affect the Department’s authority under RCW 9.94A.737.
If a community corrections officer arrests or causes the arrest of an individual under
this section, the person shall be confined and detained in the county jail of the county
in which he or she was taken into custody, and the sheriff of that county shall receive
and keep in the county jail, where room is available, all prisoners delivered to the jail
by the community corrections officer, and the person shall not be released from
66 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
custody on bail or personal recognizance, except upon approval of the court or
authorized Department staff, pursuant to a written order.
Sanctions and Procedures (RCW 9.94A.633)
A person who violates any condition or requirement of a sentence may be sanctioned
by the court with up to sixty days' confinement for each violation or by the
Department with up to thirty days' confinement as provided in RCW 9.94A.737.
In lieu of confinement, the sanction imposed may include work release, home
detention with electronic monitoring, work crew, community restitution, inpatient
treatment, daily reporting, curfew, educational or counseling sessions, supervision
enhanced through electronic monitoring, or any other community-based sanctions.
If the person was under community custody pursuant to one of the following statutes,
the sanction may be sanctioned as follows:
If the person was transferred to community custody in lieu of earned early
release in accordance with RCW 9.94A.728, he or she may be transferred to a
more restrictive confinement status to serve up to the remaining portion of the
sentence, less credit for any period actually spent in community custody or in
detention awaiting disposition of an alleged violation.
If the person was sentenced under the Drug Offender Sentencing Alternative
(RCW 9.94A.660), he or she may be sanctioned in accordance with that
section.
If the person was sentenced under the Parenting Sentencing Alternative (RCW
9.94A.655), he or she may be sanctioned in accordance with that section.
If the person was sentenced under the Special Sex Offender Sentencing
Alternative (RCW 9.94A.670), the suspended sentence may be revoked, and
the person committed to serve the original sentence of confinement.
If the person was sentenced to a Work Ethic Camp (RCW 9.94A.690), he or
she may be reclassified to serve the unexpired term of his or her sentence in
total confinement.
If a person was sentenced to a sex offense pursuant to RCW 9.94A.507, he or
she may be transferred to a more restrictive confinement status to serve up to
the remaining portion of the sentence, less credit for any period actually spent
in community custody or in detention awaiting disposition of an alleged
violation.
If a person was sentenced under the Mental Health Sentencing Alternative
(RCW 9.94A.695), he or she may be sanctioned in accordance with that
section.
If a probationer is being supervised by the Department pursuant to RCW 9.92.060,
9.95.204, or 9.95.210, the probationer may be sanctioned pursuant to subsection (1) of
this section. The Department shall have authority to issue a warrant for the arrest of an
individual who violates a condition of community custody, as provided in RCW
9.94A.716. Any sanctions shall be imposed by the Department pursuant to RCW
9.94A.737. Nothing in this subsection is intended to limit the power of the sentencing
court to respond to a probationer's violation of conditions.
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 67
The parole or probation of a person who is charged with a new felony offense may be
suspended and the person placed in total confinement pending disposition of the new
criminal charges if he or she:
Is on parole pursuant to RCW 9.95.110(1); or
Is being supervised pursuant to RCW 9.94A.745 and is on parole or probation
pursuant to the laws of another state.
Sanctions – Where Served (RCW 9.94A.6331)
If a sanction of confinement is imposed by the court, the following applies:
If the sanction was imposed pursuant to RCW 9.94A.633(1), the sanction shall
be served in a county facility.
If the sanction was imposed pursuant to RCW 9.94A.633(2), the sanction shall
be served in a state facility.
If a sanction of confinement is imposed by the Department, and if the person is
an inmate as defined by RCW 72.09.015, no more than eight days of the
sanction, including any credit for time served, may be served in a county
facility. The balance of the sanction shall be served in a state facility. In
computing the eight-day period, weekends and holidays shall be excluded. The
Department may negotiate with local correctional authorities for an additional
period of detention.
If a sanction of confinement is imposed by the Indeterminate Sentence Review
Board (Board), it shall be served in a state facility.
Sanctions imposed pursuant to RCW 9.94A.670(3) shall be served in a county
facility.
As used in this section, "county facility" means a facility operated, licensed, or utilized
under contract by the county, and "state facility" means a facility operated, licensed, or
utilized under contract by the state.
Sanctions – Which Entity Imposes (RCW 9.94A.6332)
The procedure for imposing sanctions for violations of sentence conditions or
requirements is as follows:
Sanctions shall be imposed by the Department or the court for the following
sentences:
Drug Offender Sentencing Alternative (RCW 9.94A.660),
Sex Offender Sentencing Alternative (RCW 9.94A.670),
Parenting Sentencing Alternative (RCW 9.94A.655), or
Mental Health Sentencing Alternative (RCW 9.94A.695).
Sanctions shall be imposed pursuant to RCW 9.95.435 by the Board for the
following sentences:
Sex offenses sentenced under RCW 9.94A.507,
Individuals released pursuant to RCW 9.94A.730, or
Sentences imposed pursuant to RCW 10.95.030(3) or 10.95.035.
In any other case, if the person is being supervised by the Department, any
sanctions shall be imposed by the Department pursuant to RCW 9.94A.737.
68 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
If a probationer is being supervised by the Department pursuant to RCW
9.92.060, 9.95.204, or 9.95.210, upon receipt of a violation hearing report from
the Department, the court retains any authority that those statutes provide to
respond to a probationer's violation of conditions.
If the person is not being supervised by the Department, any sanctions shall be
imposed by the court pursuant to RCW 9.94A.6333.
Sanctions – Modification of Sentence (RCW 9.94A.6333)
If a person violates any condition or requirement of a sentence, and is not being
supervised by the Department, the court may modify its order of judgment and
sentence and impose further punishment in accordance with this section.
If a person fails to comply with any of the nonfinancial conditions or requirements of a
sentence the following provisions apply:
a. The court, upon the motion of the state, or upon its own motion,
shall require the person to show cause why the he or she should not
be punished for the noncompliance. The court may issue a
summons or a warrant of arrest for the person’s appearance;
b. The state has the burden of showing noncompliance by a
preponderance of the evidence;
c. If the court finds that a violation has been proved,
i. It may impose the sanctions specified in RCW
9.94A.633(1).
ii. Alternatively, the court may:
• Convert a term of partial confinement to total confinement;
or
• Convert community restitution obligation to total or partial
confinement.
If the court finds that the violation was not willful, the court may modify its previous
order regarding community restitution obligations; and
If the violation involves a failure to undergo or comply with a mental health status
evaluation and/or outpatient mental health treatment, the court shall seek a
recommendation from the treatment provider or proposed treatment provider.
Enforcement of orders concerning outpatient mental health treatment must reflect the
availability of treatment and must pursue the least restrictive means of promoting
participation in treatment. If the failure to receive care essential for health and safety
presents a risk of serious physical harm or probable harmful consequences, the civil
detention and commitment procedures of chapter 71.05 RCW shall be considered in
preference to incarceration in a local or state correctional facility.
If a person fails to pay legal financial obligations as a requirement of a sentence, the
following provisions apply:
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 69
• The court shall require the person to show just cause why no punishment
should be imposed for noncompliance;
• The state has the burden of showing noncompliance by a preponderance of the
evidence;
• The court may not sanction for failure to pay, unless the court finds that the
failure to pay is willful;
• If the court determines that the person is homeless or a person who is mentally
ill, failure to pay is not willful noncompliance and shall not subject the person
to penalties;
• If the court finds that a failure to pay is willful noncompliance, it may impose
sanctions as specified in RCW 9.94A.633(1); and
• If the court finds the violation was not willful, the court may, and if the court
finds that the defendant is indigent, the court shall modify the terms of
payment, reduce, or waive nonrestitution legal financial obligations, or convert
to community restitution if the jurisdiction operates a community restitution
program.
• The crime victim penalty assessment shall be waived by the court if the
defendant is indigent at the time of sentencing.
Any time served in confinement awaiting a hearing on noncompliance shall be
credited against any confinement ordered by the court.
Nothing in this section prohibits the filing of escape charges if appropriate.
Department Structured Violation Process (RCW 9.94A.737)
If an individual is accused of violating any condition or requirement of community
custody, the Department shall address the violation behavior. The Department may
hold disciplinary proceedings not subject to chapter 34.05 RCW. The Department
shall notify the person in writing of the violation process.
The violation behavior shall determine the sanction the Department imposes:
• The Department shall adopt rules creating a structured violation process that
includes presumptive sanctions, aggravating and mitigating factors, and
definitions for low level violations and high-level violations.
• After a person has committed and been sanctioned for five low level violations,
subsequent violations committed may be considered high level violations,
provided that any decision to elevate a violation complies with policies and
rules established by the Department.
• The Department must define aggravating factors that indicate the person may
present a current and ongoing foreseeable risk, which elevates the behavior to a
high-level violation process.
• The state and its officers, agents, and employees may not be held criminally or
civilly liable for a decision to elevate or not to elevate a person's behavior to a
high-level violation process under this subsection unless the state or its
officers, agents, and employees acted with reckless disregard.
70 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
The Department may intervene as follows when a low-level violation is committed:
• For a low-level violation, the Department may impose sanctions to include one
or more nonconfinement sanctions or not more than three days in total
confinement.
• The Department shall develop rules to ensure that each person subject to a
short-term confinement sanction is provided the opportunity to respond to the
alleged violation prior to imposition of total confinement.
• Individuals may appeal their short-term confinement sanction to a panel of
three reviewing officers designated by the secretary or by the secretary's
designee. The appeal must be in writing and hand-delivered to Department
staff or postmarked within seven days after the sanction is imposed.
If a person is accused of committing a high-level violation, the Department may
impose a sanction of not more than thirty days in total confinement per hearing.
• An individual is entitled to a hearing prior to the imposition of sanctions and
may be held in total confinement pending a sanction hearing. Prehearing time
served must be credited to the sanction time.
• If the underlying offense is one of the following felonies and the violation
behavior constitutes a new misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony, the
person shall be held in total confinement pending a sanction hearing, and until
the earlier of: the date the sanction expires; the date a prosecuting attorney files
new charges against the person; or the date a prosecuting attorney provides the
Department with written notice that new charges will not be filed. The
following underlying offenses apply to these restrictions:
a. Assault in the First Degree, as defined in RCW 9A.36.011;
b. Assault of a Child in the First Degree, as defined in RCW 9A.36.120;

l. Murder in the First Degree, as defined in RCW 9A.32.030;
m. Murder in the Second Degree, as defined in RCW 9A.32.050;
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 71

u. Vehicular Homicide while under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor
or any Drug, as defined in RCW 46.61.520(1)(a).
The Department shall adopt rules creating hearing procedures for high-level
violations. The hearings are disciplinary proceedings and are not subject to chapter
34.05 RCW.
The procedures shall include the following:
• The Department shall provide the person with written notice of the alleged
violation and the evidence supporting it. The notice must include a statement
of the rights specified in this subsection, and the person's right to file a
personal restraint petition under court rules after the final decision.
• Unless the person waives the right to a hearing, the Department shall hold a
hearing, and shall record it electronically. For individuals not in total
confinement, the Department shall hold a hearing within fifteen business days,
but not less than twenty-four hours, after written notice of the alleged
violation. For individuals in total confinement, the Department shall hold a
hearing within five business days, but not less than twenty-four hours, after
written notice of the alleged violation.
• The person alleged to have committed the violation shall have the right to:
a. Be present at the hearing;
b. Have the assistance of a person qualified to assist the person in the
hearing; appointed by the hearing officer if there is a language or
communications barrier;
c. Testify or remain silent;
d. Call witnesses and present documentary evidence;
e. Question witnesses who appear and testify; and
f. Receive a written summary of the reasons for the hearing officer's
decision.
The hearings officer may not rely on unconfirmed or unconfirmable allegations to find
that a violation of a condition occurred.
DISCHARGE AND VACATION OF CONVICTION RECORD
Discharge
When a person reaches the end of supervision with the Department, and all of the
requirements of sentence except payment of legal financial obligations have been
72 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
completed, the Department shall notify the county clerk who will then supervise
payment of legal financial obligations.
When a person completes all of his or her sentence requirements, the Department (or
the county clerk, if the clerk has been supervising payment of legal financial
obligations) must notify the sentencing court in accordance with RCW 9.94A.637.
If a person is not subject to supervision by the Department or does not complete all of
his or her sentence requirements while under Department supervision, he or she may
file a motion with the sentencing court for a certificate of discharge when completion
of all sentencing conditions, including payment of legal financial obligations, has
occurred.
A person may also file a motion with the sentencing court if all conditions are
completed other than legal financial obligations. He or she must provide verification
of completion of conditions. A certificate of discharge issued under these
circumstances is effective either five years after completion of community custody, or
if no community custody was required, after completion of full/partial confinement; or
the date all legal financial obligations were satisfied, whichever is later.
When the court has adequate notice from the Department, the court clerk, and/or the
individual, the court then discharges the person and provides him or her with a
certificate of discharge. This certificate restores all civil rights lost upon conviction. It
is not, however, based on a finding of rehabilitation.
Every signed certificate and order of discharge shall be filed with the county clerk of
the sentencing county. The court shall also send a copy of the certificate and order to
the Department. The county clerk shall also enter the person’s name, date of discharge
and date of conviction and offense, into the database maintained by the Administrative
Office of the Courts.
Following discharge, the person’s prior record may be used to determine the sentence
for any later convictions and may also be used in later criminal prosecution as an
element of an offense or for impeachment purposes. Unless specifically ordered by the
sentencing court, the certificate of discharge will not terminate the person’s obligation
to comply with an order issued under Chapter 10.99 RCW that excludes or prohibits
he or she from having contact with a specified person or coming within a set distance
of any specified location that was contained in the judgment and sentence. Individuals
may still be prosecuted for violating any such provisions.
A person who is not convicted of a violent offense or a sex offense and is sentenced to
a term of community supervision may be considered for a discharge of sentence by the
sentencing court prior to the completion of community supervision, provided that at
least one-half of the term of community supervision has been completed and all other
sentence requirements have been met.
Upon release from custody, individuals may apply to the Department for counseling
and help in adjusting to the community. The voluntary help may be provided for up to
one year following the release from custody.
Vacation of Conviction Record
Everyone discharged under RCW 9.94A.637 may apply to the sentencing court for a
vacation of the conviction record as provided in RCW 9.94A.640. A person’s record
cannot be cleared if:
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 73
Any criminal charges are pending against him or her in any court in this state,
another state, or federal court;
The offense was a violent offense (as defined in RCW 9.94A.030);
The offense was a crime against persons (as defined in RCW 43.43.830) other
than the following offenses that do not include a firearm, deadly weapon, or
sexual motivation finding: Assault in the second degree (RCW 9A.36.021)
Assault in the third degree when not committed against a law enforcement
officer or peace officer (RCW 9A.36.031) or Robbery in the second degree
(RCW 9A.56.210).
The offense was a Class B felony and the person has been convicted of a new
crime in this state, another state, or federal court in the 10 years prior to the
application for vacation;
The offense was a Class C felony and the person has been convicted of a new
crime in this state, another state, or federal court in the five years prior to the
application for vacation;
The offense was a Class B felony, and less than ten years have passed since the
later of: (a) the applicant’s release from community custody, (b) the applicant’s
release from full/partial confinement, or (c) the applicant’s sentencing date;
The offense was a Class C felony, other than felony Driving under the
Influence of Intoxicating Liquor or any Drug or felony Physical Control while
under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor or any Drug and less than five years
have passed since the later of: (a) the applicant’s release from community
custody, (b) the applicant’s release from full/partial confinement, or (c) the
applicant’s sentencing date; or
The offense was felony Driving under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor or
any Drug or felony Physical Control while under the Influence of Intoxicating
Liquor or any Drug.
If these tests are met, the court may clear the record of conviction by:
Permitting the person to withdraw his/her guilty plea and to enter a plea of not
guilty; or
Setting aside the guilty verdict, if the person was convicted after a plea of not
guilty; and
Dismissing the information or indictment against the person.
Once the court vacates a record of conviction, the person’s conviction may not be
included in the person’s criminal history for purposes of determining a sentence in any
subsequent conviction, and the person must be released from all penalties and
disabilities resulting from the offenses. For all purposes, including responding to
questions on employment applications, a person whose record of conviction has been
vacated may state that he or she has never been convicted of that crime. However, a
vacated conviction record may be used as an element of a crime in a later criminal
prosecution. A vacated conviction does qualify as a prior conviction for the purposes
of charging a present recidivist offense and may be used to establish an ongoing
pattern of abuse for the purposes an aggravated exceptional sentence (RCW
9.94A.535).
74 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
The sentencing guidelines allow automatic "wash-out" of prior convictions that meet
the requirements of vacation of conviction. This policy allows individuals who do not
formally apply to the court to have eligible offenses excluded from their criminal
history in subsequent convictions. (See Determining Offender Score, Criminal History
Collection in this section for further discussion of this policy.)
In addition, a victim of sex trafficking, prostitution, or commercial sex abuse of a
minor; sexual assault; or domestic violence, may apply directly to the sentencing court
to vacate the victim’s record of conviction for a Class B or C felony offense. See
RCW 9.94A.648 for further description of the process to vacate such offenses.
ALTERNATIVES TO CONFINEMENT
Alternative Conversions
The sentencing grid ranges are expressed in terms of total confinement (RCW
9.94A.530). For certain sentences, a court may convert terms of total confinement to
partial confinement or to community service. This provision allows courts to take
advantage of available alternatives to confinement in cases where it is deemed
appropriate. If the court does not use an alternative conversion for a nonviolent
offense with a sentence range of one year or less, the reason why must be stated on the
Judgment and Sentence form (RCW 9.94A.680).
The 1999 Legislature modified the requirements for convictions of non-violent or non-
sex offenses with a sentence of one year or less. Where a court finds that a chemical
dependency contributed to the crime, the court may authorize the county jail to
convert jail confinement to an available county-supervised community option. The
court may require the person to perform affirmative conditions, such as rehabilitative
treatment, which are reasonably related to the circumstances of the crime and are
reasonably necessary or beneficial to the individual and to the community (RCW
9.94A.680).
For sentences of one year or less, one day of total confinement may be converted to
one day of partial confinement. Individuals with convictions of non-violent offenses
with sentences of one year or less, conversion of total confinement to community
service (one day of confinement equals eight hours of service) is allowed. This
community service conversion, however, is limited to 30 days or 240 hours. If a
community service conversion is ordered and the determinate sentence is greater than
30 days, the balance of the term is to be served in total or partial confinement (RCW
9.94A.680).
Partial confinement sentences may allow a person to serve the sentence in work
release, home detention, work crew, or a combination of work crew and home
detention. If the person violates the rules of the work release facility, work crew, or
home detention program, or fails to remain employed or enrolled in school, the facility
director may transfer the individual to the county detention facility. The person may
then request an administrative hearing. Pending the hearing, or in the absence of a
request for such a hearing, the remainder of the term of confinement shall be served in
total confinement (RCW 9.94A.731).
Work Crew
Work crew is a partial confinement option created by the 1991 Legislature. Those who
qualify must have committed the offense on or after July 28, 1991. The offense must
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 75
not be a sex offense. For offenses committed before July 25, 1993, the person must be
sentenced to a facility operated or utilized under contract by a county (i.e., the
sentence must be one year or less in length); this restriction does not apply to offenses
committed after that date. If the sentence is nine months or more, at least 30 days of
total confinement must be served before becoming eligible for work crew. Work crew
may be simultaneously imposed with electronic home detention. Work crew hours
served may include work on civic improvement tasks, substance abuse counseling, job
skills training or a maximum of 24 hours per week at approved, verified work.
To be eligible to receive credit for approved, verified work, a person must first
successfully complete four weeks of work crew, each week comprised of 35 hours of
service. Work crew projects specified by the work crew supervisor must be completed
in coordination with approved, verified work. Unless exempted by the court,
individuals using approved, verified employment as part of their work crew hours
must pay a monthly supervision assessment (RCW 9.94A.725).
Home Detention
Home detention is a subset of electronic monitoring and means a program of partial
confinement that may be available. In home detention, an individual is confined in a
private residence 24-hours a day, unless an absence from the residence is approved,
authorized, or otherwise permitted in the order by the court or other supervising
agency that ordered home detention. The option was created by the 1988 Legislature
and is available for individuals convicted of nonviolent or non-sex offenses committed
on or after June 9, 1988. Because partial confinement programs are limited to
sentences of one year or less, home detention is not an option for individuals with
prison sentences unless imposed as part of the Parenting Program under RCW
9.94A.6551 or the Graduated Reentry Program under RCW 9.94A.733.
Eligibility for home detention is generally conditioned upon (a) employment or school
attendance, performance of parental duties to minors normally in the custody of the
individual; (b) program rules adherence; and (c) compliance with court-ordered legal
financial obligations (RCW 9.94A.734(4)).
Convictions for any of the following offenses result in ineligibility for home detention
unless imposed as partial confinement in the Parenting Program or the Graduated
Reentry Program:
A violent offense;
A sex offense;
A drug offense;
Reckless Burning in the First or Second Degree;
Assault in the Third Degree;
Assault of a Child in the Third Degree;
Unlawful Imprisonment; or
Harassment.
Home detention may be imposed for individuals convicted of Possession of a
Controlled Substance (RCW 69.50.4013) or Forged Prescription for a Controlled
Substance (RCW 69.50.403), providing the person fulfills the participation conditions
set forth in this section and is monitored for drug use (2E2SSB 5536 passed in the
76 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
special session of 2023 amended Possession of a Controlled Substance laws by
classifying such offenses as gross misdemeanors; however, RCW 9.94A.734 was not
amended to reflect the change.)
Individuals convicted of Burglary in the Second Degree or Residential Burglary must
meet the following eligibility conditions for home detention: (a) successful completion
of a twenty-one day work release program; (b) no convictions for Burglary in the
Second Degree or Residential Burglary during the preceding two years and not more
than two prior convictions for Burglary or Residential Burglary; (c) no convictions for
a violent felony offense during the preceding two years and not more than two prior
convictions for a violent felony offense; (d) no prior charges of escape; and (e)
fulfillment of the other conditions of the home detention program.
Individuals convicted of Theft of a Motor Vehicle without Permission in the Second
Degree, Theft of a Motor Vehicle, or Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle must meet
the following eligibility conditions for home detention: (a) no convictions for any of
these crimes during the preceding five years and not more than two prior convictions
for any of these offenses; (b) no prior convictions of a violent felony offense during
the preceding two years and not more than two prior convictions for a violent felony
offense; (c) no prior charges of escape; and (d) fulfillment of the other conditions of
the home detention program.
Home detention may also be ordered for a person with medical or health-related
conditions, concerns, or treatment that would be better addressed under the home
detention program, or where the health and welfare of the individual, other
incarcerated individuals, or staff would be jeopardized by the person's incarceration.
Participation in the home detention program for medical or health-related reasons is
conditioned on the person abiding by the rules of the home detention program and
complying with court-ordered legal financial obligations.
A sentencing court shall deny the imposition of home detention if the court finds that
(1) the person has previously and knowingly violated the terms of a home detention
program and (2) the previous violation is not a technical, minor, or nonsubstantive
violation.
A sentencing court may deny the imposition of home detention if the court finds that
(1) the person has previously and knowingly violated the terms of a home detention
program and (2) the previous violation or violations were technical, minor, or
nonsubstantive violation.
A home detention program must be administered by a monitoring agency that meets
the conditions described in RCW 9.94A.736.
Community Parenting Program
For individuals not sentenced under the Parenting Sentencing Alternative (RCW
9.94A.655), but otherwise eligible under this section, no more than the final twelve
months of the term of confinement may be served in partial confinement as home
detention as part of the parenting program developed by the Department.
Eligibility requirements - The secretary may transfer a person from a correctional
facility to home detention in the community if it is determined that the parenting
program is an appropriate placement and when all of the following conditions exist:
The sentencing be served has a high end of the range is greater than one year;
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 77
The current conviction is not for a felony that is a sex offense or a serious
violent offense;
The individual has no current conviction for a violent offense; or where the
individual has a current conviction for a violent offense, he or she has not been
determined to be a high risk to reoffend;
The individual signs any release of information waivers required to allow
information regarding current or prior child welfare cases to be shared with the
Department and the court;
The person must be:
- A parent with guardianship or legal custody of a minor child;
- An expectant parent;
- A biological parent, adoptive parent, custodian, or stepparent with a
proven, established, ongoing, and substantial relationship with a
minor child that existed at the time of the current offense; and
- The Department determines that participation in the parenting
program.is in the best interests of the child.
Prior juvenile adjudications are not considered offenses when considering
eligibility, expect for any sex offense, serious violent offense, or felony offense
where the individual was armed with a firearm or deadly weapon in the
commission of the offense.
When the Department is considering partial confinement as part of the parenting
program for an individual, the Department shall inquire of the individual and with the
Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) as to whether the agency has an
open child welfare case or prior substantiated referral for abuse or neglect involving
the individual being considered for the program. If DCYF or a tribal jurisdiction has
an open child welfare case, the Department will seek input from DCYF or the
involved tribal jurisdiction as to: (a) The status of the child welfare case; and (b)
recommendations regarding placement of the individual and services required of the
Department and the court governing the individual's child welfare case. The
Department and its officers, agents, and employees are not liable for the acts of
individuals participating in the parenting program unless the Department or its
officers, agents, and employees acted with willful and wanton disregard.
All individuals placed on home detention as part of the parenting program shall
provide an approved residence and living arrangement prior to transfer to home
detention.
While in the community on home detention as part of the parenting program, the
Department shall:
Require placement in electronic home monitoring;
Require participation in programming and treatment that the Department
determines is needed;
Assign a community corrections officer who will monitor compliance with
conditions of partial confinement and programming requirements; and
Collaborate and communicate with DCYF’s social worker in provision of
services if there is an open child welfare case.
78 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
The Department has the authority to return any person serving partial confinement in
the parenting program to total confinement if he or she is not complying with sentence
requirements.
Graduated Reentry Program
An individual serving a term of total confinement in a state correctional facility may
have a portion of his or her sentence transferred to home detention through the
Graduated Reentry (GRE) program operated by the Department (RCW 9.94A.733).
Program eligibility and length of time that may be served in the program is based on
the categorization of the current offense.
If the current offense is a sex offense, a violent offense, or a crime against a person as
defined in RCW 9.9A.411, the person may be transferred to the community to serve
up to the last five months of the sentence in the GRE program, after completing a
minimum term of six months in total confinement. Individuals subject to a deportation
order, civil commitment order, or the interstate compact for adult supervision under
9.94A.745 may not be placed in the program.
The Department may not transfer an individual to participate in the GRE Program
until the Department has conducted an assessment for substance use disorder (SUD)
and must assist those assessed as having a SUD enrollment in SUD services.
For individuals not serving a sentence for an offense described above, he or she may
be transferred to the community to serve up to the last 18 months of the sentence in the
GRE program, after completing a minimum term of four months in total confinement.
Individuals subject to a deportation order or to the jurisdiction of the Board may not be
placed in the program.
Individuals in the GRE program must:
• Provide an approved release residence,
• Be placed on electronic home monitoring,
• Participate in required programming and treatment based on assessed
need, and
• Be monitored by a community corrections officer.
RESTITUTION
Restitution is generally governed by RCW 9.94A.750 (for offenses committed on or
before July 1, 1985) and 9.94A.753 (for offenses committed after July 1, 1985).
Pursuant to RCW 9.94A.753, restitution must be ordered whenever a person is
convicted of an offense which results in injury to any person or damage to or loss of
property, unless extraordinary circumstances exist. If such reasons exist and restitution
is not ordered, the court must indicate the extraordinary reasons on the record.
Restitution may also be ordered to pay for an injury, loss, or damage if the person
pleads guilty to a lesser offense or fewer offenses and agrees with the prosecutor's
recommendation that he or she pay restitution for any offenses not prosecuted
pursuant to a plea agreement.
Restitution is based on three factors:
Easily ascertainable damages for injury to or loss of property;
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 79
Actual expenses incurred in treatment for injury to persons; and
Lost wages resulting from injury.
Restitution for the crimes of Rape of a Child in the First, Second, or Third Degree, in
which the victim becomes pregnant, must include:
Victim’s medical expenses associated with the rape and resulting pregnancy;
and
Support for any child born as a result of the rape if child support is ordered.
Restitution shall not include reimbursement for damages for mental anguish, pain and
suffering and other intangible losses, but may include reimbursement for counseling
reasonably related to the offense. The amount of restitution may not exceed double the
amount of the perpetrator’s gain or the victim's loss from the commission of the crime.
Restitution is to be determined at the sentencing hearing or within 180 days. As part of
the sentence, the court must set the terms and conditions under which the defendant
makes restitution. It is required that the court be specific about the payment schedule
for restitution, so that these sentence conditions may be appropriately monitored by
the community corrections officer. The court may not reduce the total amount of
restitution ordered because of the person’s lack of ability to pay the total amount.
The court shall not issue any order that postpones the commencement of restitution
payments until after a person is released from total confinement. A person’s inability
to make restitution payments while in total confinement may not be the basis for a
violation of his or her sentence unless his or her inability to make payments resulted
from a refusal to accept an employment offer to a Class I or Class II job or a
termination for cause from such a job.
For offenses committed prior to July 1, 2000, a person's compliance with the
restitution requirement may be supervised for ten years after the date of sentence or
release from confinement. The restitution portion of a sentence may be modified as to
amount, terms, and conditions during this period regardless of the community
supervision term and the statutory maximum of the crime. A court may extend the
restitution requirement for a second ten-year period.
For offenses committed on or after July 1, 2000, RCW 9.94A.760(4) states: “For an
offense committed on or after July 1, 2000, the Court shall retain jurisdiction over the
offender, for purposes of the offender's compliance with payment of the legal financial
obligations, until the obligation is completely satisfied, regardless of the statutory
maximum for the crime. The Department may only supervise the offender's
compliance with payment of the legal financial obligations during any period in which
the Department is authorized to supervise the offender in the community under RCW
9.4A.728, 9.94A.501, or in which the offender is confined in a state correctional
institution or a correctional facility pursuant to a transfer agreement with the
Department, and the Department shall supervise the offender’s compliance during any
such period. The Department is not responsible for supervision of the offender during
any subsequent period of time the offender remains under the court's jurisdiction. The
county clerk is authorized to collect unpaid legal financial obligations at any time the
offender remains under the jurisdiction of the court for purposes of his or her legal
financial obligations.”
Restitution for victims is the first priority for payment.
80 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
Effective January 1, 2023, at any time, including at sentencing, the court may
determine that the individual is not required to pay, or may relieve the person of the
requirement to pay, full or partial restitution and accrued interest on restitution where
the entity to whom restitution is owed is an insurer or state agency (except for
restitution owed to the Department of Labor and Industries), if the court finds that the
individual does not have the current or likely future ability to pay. A person does not
have the current ability to pay if the person is indigent.
Restitution in Cases involving Fraud or Deceptive Practice
If a person or organization is found guilty of an offense involving fraud or other
deceptive practice, a court may require that notice be given to the class of persons or
sector of the public affected by the conviction or financially interested in the subject
matter of the offense. The notice may be accomplished by mail, by advertising through
designated media, or by other appropriate means (RCW 9.94A.753(8), RCW
9.94A.750(7)).
Restitution in Cases involving a Fraudulent Filing of a Vehicle Report of Sale
If a person has caused a victim to lose money or property through the filing of a
vehicle report of sale in which the designated buyer had no knowledge of the vehicle
transfer or the fraudulent filing of the report of sale, upon conviction or when the
person pleads guilty and agrees with the prosecutor’s recommendation that he or she
be required to pay restitution to a victim, the court may order the defendant to pay an
amount, fixed by the court, not to exceed double the amount of the defendant’s gain or
victim’s loss from the filing of the vehicle report of sale in which the designated buyer
had no knowledge of the vehicle transfer or the fraudulent filing of the report of sale
(RCW 9.94A.753(10)).
FINES
Unless otherwise provided by a statute of this state, on all adult sentences under this
chapter the court may impose fines on according to the following ranges (RCW
9.94A.550):
Class A felonies $0 - $50,000
Class B felonies $0 - $20,000
Class C felonies $0 - $10,000
Unless the court finds a person to be indigent, every conviction of certain VUCSA
violations (RCW 69.50.401 through 69.50.4013, 69.50.4015, 69.50.402, 69.50.403,
69.50.406, 69.50.407, 69.50.410, 69.50.415) shall result in a fine of $1,000, in
addition to any other fine or penalty imposed. The fine increases to $2,000 if the
violation is a second or subsequent violation of one of the laws specified (RCW
69.50.430).
When a fine is imposed for Manufacture, Delivery or Possession with Intent to
Manufacture or Deliver Methamphetamine, or for Possession of Ephedrine or Pseudo
Ephedrine with Intent to Manufacture Methamphetamine, the first $3,000 may not be
suspended and must be provided to the law enforcement entity responsible for
cleaning up the methamphetamine lab site. The fines in this section only apply to
individuals convicted as an adult (RCW 69.50.401).
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 81
Other Legal Financial Obligations
The Sentencing Reform Act allows a court to impose several additional monetary
obligations. These include:
Court costs (RCW 9.94A.030(31));
Defense attorney's fees and defense costs (RCW 9.94A.030(31));
Contributions to a county or local drug fund (RCW 9.94A.030(31));
Crime victims' compensation assessment (RCW 9.94A.030(31) and (RCW
7.68.035));
Recoupments to the victim for the cost of counseling as a result of the crime, in
cases where the Special Sex Offender Sentencing Alternative is exercised
(RCW 9.94A.670(6)(g));
Payment for the cost of incarceration, at the rate of up to $100 per day if
incarcerated in a prison or for the actual cost of incarceration if incarcerated in
a county jail (RCW 9.94A.760(3));
Payment of up to $2,500 in costs incurred by public agencies in an emergency
response to the incident that resulted in conviction for Vehicular Assault or
Vehicular Homicide while under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor or any
Drug, Driving or Physical Control of a Vehicle while under the Influence of
Intoxicating Liquor or any Drug, Operating an Aircraft under the Influence of
Intoxicants or Liquor, or Use of a Vessel while under the Influence of Alcohol
or Drugs (RCW 9.94A.030(31) and (RCW 38.52.430)); and/or
A fine of $15, in addition to any penalty or fine imposed, for a violation of a
domestic violence protection order issued under the chapter (RCW
7.105.410(1)(b)(ii)).
All other legal financial obligations for an offense committed prior to July 1, 2000,
may be enforced at any time during the ten-year period following the person’s release
from total confinement or within ten years of entry of the judgment and sentence,
whichever period ends later. Prior to the expiration of the initial ten-year period, the
superior court may extend the criminal judgment an additional ten years for payment
of legal financial obligations including crime victims' assessments. All other legal
financial obligations for an offense committed on or after July 1, 2000, may be
enforced at any time the person remains under the court's jurisdiction. For an offense
committed on or after July 1, 2000, the court shall retain jurisdiction over the person,
for purposes of compliance with payment of the legal financial obligations, until the
obligation is completely satisfied, regardless of the statutory maximum for the crime.
The Department may only supervise a person’s compliance with payment of the legal
financial obligations during any period in which the Department is authorized to
supervise the person in the community under RCW 9.94A.728, 9.94A.501, or in which
the person is confined in a state correctional institution or a correctional facility
pursuant to a transfer agreement with the Department, and the Department shall
supervise compliance during any such period. The Department is not responsible for
supervision of the person during any subsequent period of time the person remains
under the court's jurisdiction. The county clerk is authorized to collect unpaid legal
financial obligations at any time the person remains under the jurisdiction of the court
for purposes of his or her legal financial obligations.
82 2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115
In order to assist the court in setting the monthly payment sum, the individual must
truthfully report to the Department regarding earnings, property, and assets, and must
supply requested documentation.
The Department may recommend to the court modifications in the payment schedule
if the person’s financial circumstances change during the period of supervision. In
cases where the Department sets the monthly assessment amount, the Department may
modify the monthly assessment without consulting the court.
Independent of the Department or the county clerk, the party or entity to whom the
legal financial obligation is owed shall have the authority to use any other remedies
available to the party or entity to collect the legal financial obligation. These remedies
include enforcement in the same manner as a judgment in a civil action by the party or
entity to whom the legal financial obligation is owed.
Contact with Individuals
A court may prohibit contact with specified individuals or a specific class of
individuals for a period not to exceed the maximum allowable sentence for the crime,
regardless of the expiration of the community supervision or community placement
term. The order prohibiting contact must relate directly to the circumstances of the
crime of conviction.

SENTENCING GRID D: ANTICIPATORIES CRIMES COMMITTED
AFTER JULY 24, 1999
“CURRENT”
NOTES:
SSB 5087, passed in the 2023 Legislative Session, eliminated language in RCW 10.95.030 authorizing the death penalty, but
did not amend Seriousness Level XVI to remove language referencing the death penalty.
2SSB 5064, passed during the 2014 Legislative Session, amended the mandatory minimum term for aggravated first degree
murder committed before the offender’s 18th birthday. The changes were made retroactive and, therefore, apply regardless of
the date of offense. Refer to RCW 9.94A.510, RCW 9.94A540, RCW 9.94A.729, RCW 10.95.030, and RCW 10.95.035.

NOTES:
SSB 5087, passed in the 2023 Legislative Session, eliminated language in RCW 10.95.030 authorizing the death penalty, but
did not amend Seriousness Level XVI to remove language referencing the death penalty.
2SSB 5064, passed during the 2014 legislative session, amended the mandatory minimum term for Aggravated First Degree
Murder committed before the offender’s 18th birthday. The changes were made retroactive and, therefore, apply regardless of
the date of offense. Refer to RCW 9.94A.510, RCW 9.94A.540, RCW 9.94A.729, RCW 10.95.030, and RCW 10.95.035.

LIFE SENTENCE WITHOUT PAROLE/DEATH PENALTY
2023 Washington State Adult Sentencing Guidelines Manual, ver 20231115 98
SENTENCING GRID B: CRIMES COMMITTED JULY 1, 1990,
THROUGH JULY 26, 1997
NOTES:
SSB 5087, passed in the 2023 Legislative Session, eliminated language in RCW 10.95.030 authorizing the death penalty, but
did not amend Seriousness Level XVI to remove language referencing the death penalty.
2SSB 5064, passed during the 2014 legislative session, amended the standard range of “Life Sentence without Parole/Death
Penalty” (i.e., the mandatory minimum term for Aggravated First Degree Murder), where the offense was committed before
the offender’s 18th birthday to a minimum term of “25 years to life.” The changes were made retroactive and, therefore, apply
regardless of the date of offense. Refer to RCW 9.94A.510, RCW 9.94A.540, RCW 9.94A.729, RCW 10.95.030, and RCW

purposes of this manual, the Caseload Forecast Council is presenting only those offenses listed in RCW
9.94A.515 at Seriousness Level V.

a requirement that the person refrain from committing new offenses.
Community Custody
In 2011, the legislature reduced the duration of community custody for FTOW
sentences.

Up to 12 months of community custody if treatment is ordered.
FTOW sentences are not eligible for the Supervision Compliance Credit established in

SECTION 6
GENERAL FELONY SCORING FORMS
General scoring forms are provided in Section 6 and are followed by the individual offense
scoring forms in Section 7. The General scoring forms include scoring sheets intended to
assist in the calculation of offender scores and sentence ranges for offenses imposed with a
deadly weapon enhancement, a sexual motivation finding or a domestic violence finding.
Individual offense scoring forms are arranged alphabetically in Section 7 and include forms
for controlled substances, imitation controlled substances, and legend drug crimes. Please
note that the scoring forms do not present sentencing options eligibility (e.g., work release,
work ethic camp). Please refer to Sentencing Alternatives in Section 5 of this manual for
clarification of eligibility rules or conditions for each sentencing option.
In past manuals, if a sentence range extended past the statutory maximum of the offense, the
sentence range was truncated and displayed an asterisk that referenced what the statutory
maximum was. In this manual, the sentence range will still be truncated where available and
display an asterisk. The corresponding asterisk will be next to the classification at the top of
the page, i.e., Class C*.
Per EHB 1324, for any offenses that are committed on or after July 23, 2023, convictions of
juvenile adjudications are not included in the offender score unless the convictions were for
Murder 1, Murder 2, or a Class A sex offense. The scoring forms have been updated to reflect
this change. For any offenses committed prior to July 23, 2023, please refer to the scoring
rules in place at that time of the offense for scoring of juvenile adjudications.

SECTION 7
ALPHABETIZED FELONY SCORING FORMS
General scoring forms are provided in Section 6 and are followed by the individual offense
scoring forms in Section 7. The individual offense scoring forms are arranged alphabetically
and include forms for controlled substances, imitation controlled substances, and legend drug
crimes. Please note that the scoring forms do not present sentencing options eligibility (e.g.,
work release, Graduated Reentry Program). Please refer to Sentencing Alternatives in Section
5 of this manual for clarification of eligibility rules or conditions for each sentencing option.
In past manuals, if a sentence range extended past the statutory maximum of the offense, the
sentence range was truncated and displayed an asterisk that referenced what the statutory
maximum was. In this manual, the sentence range will still be truncated where available and
display an asterisk. The corresponding asterisk will be next to the classification at the top of
the page, i.e., Class C*.
Per EHB 1324, for any offenses that are committed on or after July 23, 2023, convictions of
juvenile adjudications are not included in the offender score unless the convictions were for
Murder 1, Murder 2, or a Class A sex offense. The scoring forms have been updated to reflect
this change. For any offenses committed prior to July 23, 2023, please refer to the scoring
rules in place at that time of the offense for scoring of juvenile adjudications.

Vehicular Homicide – Disregard for the Safety of Others is defined as a Class A felony offense and, therefore,
appears to be a violent offense under RCW 9.94A.030. However, under State v. Stately, 152 Wn. App. 604, 216
P.3d 1102 (2009), it is not to be considered a violent offense.
