90% sure it's just that wagering on a game of luck is illegal, not participating in it altogether
No, it's illegal to play FF.
Gambling on sports in WA is already illegal.

Washington is one of five states where fantasy football is illegal because state law views fantasy football as a game of luck, not skill.
Roach said there will be a December hearing in Olympia on the current law. She'll look to introduce a bill to make some fantasy leagues legal, such as leagues between family, friends, and co-workers.
"(Ones) where you pick your players at the beginning of the season, maybe a few trades, keep that team through the season. That's a game of skill," Roach said.
She said daily fantasy sites will still be illegal, but that the current bill "could be used as a vehicle to make them all legal."
