Two laws protect Washington residents

A federal law covers everyone — and Washington’s own rules can add to it.

Federal law

The TCPA

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.

  • Protects everyone in Washington, no matter the state rules.
  • Bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell without consent.
  • $500–$1,500 per call, stacking with every violation.
  • You can sue personally — you don’t wait on the government.
Washington law

Washington Commercial Telephone Solicitation Act (RCW ch. 19.158)

How Washington adds to your protection.

  • Calling hours: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m..
  • Do Not Call: Uses the national registry.
  • Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.

How the law works in Washington

If you live in Washington and unwanted robocalls or telemarketing texts keep coming, the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) protects you. The TCPA is the main federal robocall law. It restricts autodialed calls, prerecorded or “robo” voice messages, and marketing texts sent without your consent. It lets you recover $500 to $1,500 for every illegal call or text, and because the penalty is per call, those amounts add up fast when a company keeps contacting you.

Washington reinforces those rights with its own Commercial Telephone Solicitation Act (RCW ch. 19.158). State law limits commercial telephone solicitation calls so they may not be received before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m. local time, an hour tighter than the federal 9 p.m. cutoff. Washington relies on the National Do Not Call Registry rather than running its own state list, so registering your number at donotcall.gov is the key step. Telemarketers who break these rules can also face the Washington Consumer Protection Act.

Attorney Max Morgan, Esq. helps Washington residents pursue robocall claims. Because the TCPA is a federal law, Max represents consumers nationwide and brings in local counsel where a court requires it. He begins with a free review of your call logs and texts, and you pay no fee unless you recover. Keeping voicemails, screenshots, and a simple call log makes your case stronger.

Washington robocall FAQs

Can I sue for robocalls in Washington?

Yes. The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) lets Washington residents sue for illegal robocalls, prerecorded messages, and spam texts, with damages of $500 to $1,500 per call. Washington’s Commercial Telephone Solicitation Act and Consumer Protection Act may add to those rights. A free review can confirm whether your calls qualify.

Does Washington have its own do-not-call list?

No. Washington does not run its own state do-not-call list; it relies on the National Do Not Call Registry. To cut down on telemarketing calls, register your number for free at donotcall.gov. Calls that continue after you register may violate the law.

What are Washington’s calling hours?

Washington’s Commercial Telephone Solicitation Act says commercial solicitation calls may not be received before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m. local time, tighter than the federal 9 p.m. limit. A telemarketing call outside that window may break state law and is worth documenting.

Do I need a Washington lawyer for a robocall case?

Not necessarily. The TCPA is a federal law, so attorney Max Morgan, Esq. represents Washington residents nationwide and brings in local counsel where a court requires it. He offers a free review of your calls and texts, and you pay no fee unless you recover.
