I'm 16 and I'm dating an 18 year old were not having sex. Is it legal for us to be together

Yes, as long as sex is not involved - and I realize there is always a question about what does and what does not constitute "sex" - UNLESS the 16 year old's parents object. If so the older person (18) could be charged with parental interference.

By-the-way, I believe the age of consent in Washington State is 16.

I stand corrected - it's 16.
