Plain-language guide to Washington’s psilocybin, MDMA, and psychedelic laws — what’s legal, what isn’t, and what may change.
The following cities in Washington have passed resolutions directing local police to treat entheogenic plant and fungi enforcement as the lowest priority: Seattle, Port Townsend, Olympia.
Washington's Psilocybin Services Task Force released its final report in 2024 recommending a licensed facilitator model similar to Oregon's, but the state legislature has not passed a therapeutic access bill as of 2026. Psilocybin mushrooms are Schedule I under state and federal law. The three cities with deprioritization resolutions (Seattle, Port Townsend, Olympia) do not make possession legal.
As of 2026, Washington does not have a licensed psilocybin access program. Legal options for residents include:
No. Psilocybin is Schedule I under Washington's Uniform Controlled Substances Act (RCW 69.50.204). Washington voters have not passed a legalization or decriminalization measure. Seattle, Port Townsend, and Olympia have city resolutions directing police to deprioritize entheogen enforcement, but these are policy directives — not legal protections — and do not bind state or federal law enforcement.
Not legally. Seattle's city council passed a resolution in November 2021 making enforcement of laws against entheogenic plants and fungi the lowest priority for police. But psilocybin remains Schedule I under Washington state law and federal law, and the Seattle resolution does not provide legal protection against state or federal prosecution.
Washington's Psilocybin Services Task Force (created by SB 5263 in 2023) released a final report in 2024 recommending a licensed facilitator model similar to Oregon's Measure 109. HB 1931 (2024) did not advance. A new legislative effort is expected; the timeline for a bill becoming law is uncertain but advocates expect a vote within the next 1-2 legislative sessions.
Not legally. Both cities have passed deprioritization resolutions for entheogenic substances, but Washington state law still classifies psilocybin as Schedule I. The city resolutions affect local police priorities only.
