Weirdest Laws In Washington

Posted by Tamela Phillippe on Tuesday, April 16, 2024

In what might be one of the weirdest laws in the state of Washington, fake wrestling is a punishable offense. No mention of whether the WWE is considered "fake," or just well choreographed. You also need to be licensed to sell condoms. Whether there is state-mandated training for such a license hasn't been discovered.

In the United States, pay toilets have pretty much become a thing of the past. However, there are still laws in the state of Washington that govern their installation. In public places that have pay toilets, there must be an equal number of free toilets available. 

During the Roaring 20s and into the Great Depression, many folks would compete in "marathon" sessions of regular leisure activities, oftentimes publicly competing for cash prizes. Marathon dancing, flagpole sitting, and roller skating are just a few that were the subject of public competitions. Not in Washington, though. These were made illegal after injuries were reported (via Stupid Laws). 

Whatever you do, don't remove the manufacturer's tag from a mattress or pillow in this state. An old law fined violators up to $500.
