It isn't against the law, no... laws against suicide are rare, because it is impossible to enforce a punishment for someone that is dead.
However, it does invalidate almost all insurance policies, making it a significant financial burden to whoever has to bear the cost of clean up and burial.
Suicide is a poor choice for a lot of reasons, many of which have to do with the suffering it causes others, but it is also sacrificing hope and potential. Despair is temporary. Suicide is not. Life gets better, and suicide is, as they say, a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Actually, really not a solution at all. Just another escape. It's harder to solve the problem that is motivating the suicide, but solving the problem is always a better choice, and more than worth it, even if it takes a lot of time, suffering, or embarrassment. Life is worth the sacrifice.

Is suicide or attempted suicide against the law in Washington?
Suicide is not against the law, as there can be no human punishment for someone who has successfully committed it. Attempted suicide will not bring criminal charges against you, but you will most likely be taken in for psychological evaluation whether you want to be or not, and can be held until they feel you are no longer a threat to yourself or anyone else.....which could be days, weeks, months and sometimes years.
