Alcohol prohibition in Washington state began on January 1, 1916, when the state enacted a law that prohibited the manufacture and sale of Alcoholic Beverages. This was part of a broader temperance movement in the United States leading up to national prohibition, which was established by the 18th Amendment in 1920. Washington's prohibition lasted until the repeal of the 18th Amendment in 1933, after which alcohol sales were legalized again.

No, Michigan was not the first state to ban alcohol. The first state to enact statewide prohibition was Maine in 1851. Michigan followed suit later, with its own prohibition law enacted in 1918, which occurred before the nationwide prohibition established by the 18th Amendment in 1920.

The 18th amendment (the Volstead Act), entered America into the time called the Prohibition Era. This was January 16, 1920. The 18th amendment was ratified on December 5, 1933, when it became legal to buy and sell alcohol unless prohibited by a state law.
The 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution repealed alcohol prohibition; there is no federal amendment that restricts purchase or consumption of alcohol to "adults". That is generally regulated by state law.
State-wide alcohol prohibition was finally repealed in Mississippi in the 1960s (about a third of a century after the repeal of National Prohibition) because many residents came to believe that prohibition was a failure and caused serious problems. However, local option continues to exist in the state.
National Prohibition began in 1920, although many states already had imposed state-wide prohibition by this time.
Kansas was a dry state from the time it enacted statewide prohibition in 1881 until the end of Prohibition in the United States in 1933. Although the 18th Amendment prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol nationwide, Kansas had already established its own prohibition laws. After the repeal of Prohibition, Kansas continued to have restrictive alcohol laws, remaining effectively "dry" in many areas until 1948, when it allowed the sale of beer and light wines.
