Section 162-38-050 - Who is protected(1)Scope. RCW 49.60.222 defines practices in connection with real estate transactions that are unfair when done because of "the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability, or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal by a disabled person."

The presence of a sensory, mental, or physical disability includes, but is not limited to, an abnormal condition that:(a) Is medically cognizable or diagnosable;(b) Exists as a record or history; or(c) Is perceived to exist, whether or not it exists in fact.Wash.
