Washington's Smoking in Public Places Act (RCW 70.160) bans indoor smoking and within 25 feet of doors and windows; King County Parks prohibits smoking and vaping in parks and natural areas under departmental rule.
Washington's Smoking in Public Places Act, RCW 70.160, bans smoking in all enclosed public places and places of employment, and within 25 feet of building entrances, exits, windows that open, and ventilation intakes. Public Health Seattle and King County enforces complaints. King County Parks rules under KCC Title 7 prohibit smoking, vaping, and cannabis use in all county parks, trails, and natural areas. Many cities, including Seattle, extend bans to beaches, transit stops, and outdoor dining. Vaping is treated like smoking under most local rules.
Smoking indoors, within the 25-foot buffer, or in posted parks can trigger civil infractions starting at $100 under RCW 70.160.075 and trespass enforcement for repeat offenders in parks.
