Washington was selected 1st overall draft pick in 2005 PBA draft by the FedEx Express and was traded to the Talk 'N Text Phone Pals during draft day. Despite putting good numbers, high expectations and the deep rotation of Talk 'N Text led him to being traded to the San Miguel Beermen in 2008 in exchange for the draft rights of 2008 3rd overall pick Jayson Castro. During the 2010 PBA Fiesta Conference, he was awarded the Best Player of the Conference. He is a three-time Mythical First Team Awardee in the PBA. He was then awarded another Best Player of the Conference award during game 4 of the 2010–11 PBA Philippine Cup finals.

On September 22, 2014, he was traded to the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters for Nonoy Baclao, rookie Harold Arboleda and the rights for Talk 'N Text's 2nd round pick in the 2018 draft. This trade is a part of a series of trades between Talk 'N Text, GlobalPort, and NLEX Road Warriors. He returned to Talk 'N Text after six years of playing with San Miguel/Petron and GlobalPort.
On October 13, 2016, he was traded to the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in exchange for JR Quiñahan.
On February 21, 2019, after being released by Rain or Shine, he signed with TNT KaTropa for his third stint with the franchise.[5]
