    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.
