This comes from the Poker Players Alliance -

As a poker enthusiast, I urge you to support legislation that was recently introduced by State Representative Paul Harris.

The bill entitled HB 1824 will remove criminal penalties for playing poker on the Internet for recreational purposes in the Evergreen State. Current law makes it a Class-3 felony to play online poker! This stiff penalty is particularly concerning since it is legal to play poker in nearly every other setting across the state. Simply playing this game on the Internet should not make it a crime. Please support this common sense bill and let's stop making criminals out of Washingtonians who enjoy Internet poker.

Look for an initiative to come out this Spring. Hopefully Washington can join many parts of the Free World (like New Jersey) where online Poker is Taxed and regulated as the game of skill it is.
