What law in Washington cutting closely in front of another boat?

In Washington state, the law regarding boating and navigation is guided by the "Rules of the Road" as outlined in the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) and the U.S. Coast Guard's navigation rules. Specifically, when two vessels are approaching each other, the law requires that the "stand-on" vessel maintain its course and speed, while the "give-way" vessel must take action to avoid a collision. Cutting closely in front of another boat could be considered a violation of these navigation rules, potentially leading to a dangerous situation and legal repercussions. Boaters are encouraged to operate with caution and prioritize safety on the water.
