Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

Case jurisdiction

A girl I had briefly dated, has told me that she has filed a police report and charged me with possibly �telephone harassment�. We both live in King County, but she may have filed the report when she was away, either in Eastern Washington or inter-state in Idaho. If the charge goes through, who will have jurisdiction (i.e. King County, Idaho?).
