Something will "come out of it" (violation of your probation on your out-of-state DUI probation), just not what you think.

It is highly unlikely that WA would extradite you on a misdemeanor. However, if you fail to complete your outpatient treatment, it will be reported not only to the WA court that placed you on probation, it will also be reported to the WA state DMV resulting in a suspension of your driver's license. WA (and CA) are part of an Interstate Compact and the license suspension will be reported to the CA DMV meaning that your privilege to drive in CA will also be suspended.

The upshot of the above is that if you pick up a traffic violation in CA such as speeding, running a red light/stop sign, etc, an additional charge will be added for driving on a suspended license , which is a misdemeanor and carries a MANDATORY MINIMUM of 10 days in jail (VC 14601.2), when the license suspension was as a result of a DUI offense.
