Washington's Law Against Discrimination (RCW 49.60) includes several protected classes that go beyond the seven federal Fair Housing Act classes. Which of the following is NOT an additional protected class added by Washington state law beyond federal protections?

Correct Answer

D) Familial status

Familial status is one of the seven classes protected under the federal Fair Housing Act (added in 1988). It is NOT a Washington state addition beyond federal law — it was already a federal protection. Washington's RCW 49.60 does cover familial status, but it adopted this protection in alignment with federal law, not as an expansion beyond it.
