Is there any way to make washing machine plumbing tie in to the kitchen sink plumbing?
For example, could the washing machine drain into the disposal like the dishwasher? If not, why not?
Or, could I put a wye in between between my disposal and p-trap, and make a standpipe for the washing machine to feed in there?
thanks!

The disposer is much greater than what dishwasher uses the dishwasher and drop the drain connection at the only problem can imagine is much greater than what dishwasher uses the dishwasher and washing clothes at once.

a washing machine stand pipe needs to be 2″. A stand pipe has to be a minimum of 18″ in length. It also need to have a p-trap on it. I would look into the basement or crawl space as to a better place to tie it in at.
draining it into the disposal is just asking for trouble.
