Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Washington

is this harassment?

I work for a large co. A coworker was one of my best friends, but when I moved to his group he began harassing me (making racist remarks about my bf, asking me if I wanted to be in pain, asking someone to tie my hands behind my back so he would ''put a big one in my mouth'' at a restaurant, asking me if I wanted his sperm so I would have his baby, made a rape-type insinuation such as �aren�t you afraid to be here alone with me and my friend� and too many other comments to mention - this all happened while on company property/events).Hehas since left the team. I was confused because I had wanted to retain his friendship, so I went to his house for a party and he offered me drinks. I can't drink due to medication buthe pressured me into drinking wine and offered me cocaine(Ididn't take it) and took me to bed. I didn't sleep with him or even get naked. I have tried to be respectful to this person and even tried having a sense of humor with him.. I told my mgr that this person harassed me, but my mgr adores this guy&gives me updates on whatever this guy does. i feel trapped and don't want to lose my job. is this SH and am i liable in any way for it or for things at his house? thx

Yes it is but you are complicit too.
