On July 1, 2022, new revised Washington State laws for civil protection orders went into effect. These include domestic violence protection orders, sexual assault protection orders, stalking protection orders, antiharassment protection orders, vulnerable adult protection orders, and extreme risk protection orders.

Violation of a domestic violence protection order, a sexual assault protection order, a stalking protection order, or a vulnerable adult protection order is a gross misdemeanor offense.

A person with two or more previous convictions for violation of a domestic violence protection order, a sexual assault protection order, a stalking protection order, or a vulnerable adult protection order will be charged with a class C felony upon committing a third such offense.
