Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

Hit and run

Someone hit my car and ran away when my car was parked in front of my house, and when I went out the house, the car was already gone. Unfortunately, I didn't see the car. However, the place I live is a dead end, and the car's direction was going inside. Moreover, there are some blue paint on my car, and also I found some pieces of the glass. Base on these evidence, I found a car which seems like. The car's paint is not original and looks like painting in rush. Moreover, the right front head light was just changed, and I can tell they are different. I wonder if the police will investgate in this case. And if not, what should I do?
