Best Answer

Washington state honors both traditional and same sex marriages. A person must be eighteen years of age to marry without parental consent. No exams or blood tests are required. After applying for a marriage license, there is a three-day waiting period. Two witnesses are required at the ceremony, and each should be at least twelve years of age.
