What is the law about "run aways" in Washington state?

I moved out of my parents house at 16 to live with family, I was then kicked out of there but called in as a run away for a short time. My mom wrote off the run away charge because I agreed to move in with another family member. I am now 17 &1/2. What does the law say about rn aways once they turn 18. If I were to get called in as a run away for leaving this family member (I highly doubt I would, my parents have stepped out of my life. But I want to know all the details just in case.) If I were to leave and called in, say I stay un noticed until my 18th birthday. Would I still be charged for a run away, or once I am 18 does it just go away? If you do not know the details, even ideas of where I could find out this information would help.

RCW 26.28.010-Age of majority is 18.
RCW 13 is the juvenile codes
As you say you ran away but parents allowed it with this person you are now with.
RCW 13.34.100 addresses the Guardian ad litem of one appointed by the parents or the court to watch out for you till you are 18 so stay where you are, be happy someone cares about you, knew too too many kids on the Street in Seattle in the 70's.
