Generally speaking, a felony is a crime for which the sentence may be more than one year in prison. In the state of Washington, there are three classes of felonies:

Class A (maximum penalty of life in prison and $50,000 fine)

Class B (maximum penalty 10 years in prison and $20,000 fine)

Class C (maximum penalty 5 years in prison and $10,000 fine)

Sentencing in felony cases is governed by the Sentence Reform Act of 1981, which established determinate sentencing based on the seriousness level of the offense (levels I - XVI; level I being the least serious) and the defendant's "offender score."
