Not unless it is part of a proper name. The expression "Washington state" is used to indicate the state instead of the city (Washington DC). It would be capitalized if "Washington State" meant "Washington State University."

Do you capitalize State?
If it is the word 'state' you capitalize the first 's' like this 'State'.
Should the word 'State' be capitalized?
Capitalize the word state only when it appears after a state's name, as in "We will travel to Washington State this summer." (But make sure it won't be confused with a visit to the university known as Washington State. Perhaps "state of Washington" would be better.) In the phrase "state of Hawaii," you don't capitalize the word state. Finally, don't capitalize the word state when it's being used as a substitute for the state's name, as in "My father works for the state." It is capitalized, however, in imaginative names such as "the Nutmeg State," "the Empire State," "the Aloha State," and we capitalize "States" when we say things like "We're returning to the States after twenty years in Europe."
Should you capitalize state parks as in Washington State Parks?
