Washington state does not have a personal income tax.  Leave boxes 15,16 and 17 blank (empty) on the W-2 you are entering.

Nine states — AlaskaFloridaNevadaNew HampshireSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasWashington and Wyoming — have no state income taxes.

 

As your state Washington has no state income tax, it is not in the drop down menu of Box 15 of form 1099-R. Just leave boxes 15 and 16 blank even if WA is listed in box 15 and box 16 is filled with an amount on your form 1099-R.
