    Basic answer is yes, but it also depends on code in your area how to pipe this. Where I am at you must run 3" pipe on the horizonal for the washing machine drain and 2" when it turns to the vertical with a 2" trap and stand pipe to 42" above the floor and vented. The shower would be 2" and vented seperatly.
