runners vs. cyclist

[Eden]

Our laws in Washington seem pretty clear
If there is a sidewalk (bike lanes are considered to be road, not sidewalk) as a pedestrian you must use it. If there is no sidewalk you are supposed to walk/run on the left, facing traffic.
I do however think that if a cyclist and a jogger were to collide the cyclist stands the greater risk of injury, as they were likely moving faster and have farther to fall.
And as far as Smilingcat's example goes - in this state, she as a vehicle is obligated to pass the pedestrians on the left and not move back right until she has safely passed them, so if she were here they would have been encouraging her to pass on the incorrect side.
RCW 46.61.250
Pedestrians on roadways.
(1) Where sidewalks are provided it is unlawful for any pedestrian to walk or otherwise move along and upon an adjacent roadway. Where sidewalks are provided but wheelchair access is not available, disabled persons who require such access may walk or otherwise move along and upon an adjacent roadway until they reach an access point in the sidewalk.

(2) Where sidewalks are not provided any pedestrian walking or otherwise moving along and upon a highway shall, when practicable, walk or move only on the left side of the roadway or its shoulder facing traffic which may approach from the opposite direction and upon meeting an oncoming vehicle shall move clear of the roadway.
