Washington Suppressors & Silencers Laws (2026)

Conditional: Suppressors are legal in Washington once they are registered with the federal government.

ConditionalVerified Jul 18, 2026

Suppressors are legal in Washington once they are registered with the federal government. RCW 9.41.250 criminalizes only the use of an unregistered suppressor. Washington's hunting rules (WAC 220-414) contain no suppressor prohibition, so hunting with a registered suppressor is allowed.
