SWEENEY, J.

The primary question presented in this disability discrimination case is whether an employer's failure to follow Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) interpretive guidelines to the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a per se violation of Washington's law against discrimination. It is not. And we therefore affirm the jury verdict for the employer.
