Table 3—Drug offense sentencing grid.
Applied in 17 court decisions — leading case State v. Hassan (2009)
Most recently applied in State of Washington v. Dahndre Kavaugn Westwood (December 2021)
2015 c 291 s 9; (2015 c 291 s 8 expired July 1, 2018); (2013 2nd sp.s. c 14 s 1 expired July 1, 2018); 2002 c 290 s 8.
Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
References to months represent the standard sentence ranges. 12+ equals one year and one day.
(2) The court may utilize any other sanctions or alternatives as authorized by law, including but not limited to the special drug offender sentencing alternative under RCW 9.94A.660 or drug court under chapter 2.30 RCW.
(3) Nothing in this section creates an entitlement for a criminal defendant to any specific sanction, alternative, sentence option, or substance abuse treatment.
