Yes. Rhode Island recognizes out-of-state domestic partnerships that extend the benefits and responsibilities of marriage. A Washington state registered domestic partnership extends those benefits and responsibilities and is therefore recognized in Rhode Island as a civil union.
15-3.1-8. Reciprocity. -- A civil union or registered domestic partnership that extends benefits and responsibilities without the status of marriage and is legally entered into in another jurisdiction shall be recognized in Rhode Island as a civil union; provided, that the relationship meets the eligibility requirements of this chapter.
