Yes, you can break the lease. RCW 59.18.090 states the tenant does have the right to break the lease after the appropriate timeframe expires starting from when the landlord received a written repair request and the repair still goes on uncompleted within a reasonable time.

Refer to the tenant repair fact sheets from WashingtonLawHelp.org for more details on how to make the written repair request.
