    16 and 18 yr. old relationships in Wa.
    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.
