Yes, the ticket should have been filed within 5 days, but NO the ticket is not automatically void. You MUST appear and move for a dismissal per IRLJ 2.2 if it was filed beyond 5 business days from the date of issue. This does not include the day it was issued. If you sent your copy of the ticket to the court, then they should have it on file. You need to keep on the court about this. Call them every day.
Use the Washington Court records lookup site to see if they have you in the computer.
