someone I know has been charged with kidnapping 2 and robbery 3 and I was hoping they throw the book at him?

Unfortunately, this type of question does not have a simple answer. There are too many variables that come into play in any case to determine what a sentence will be, when you provide no factual or procedural background against which an assessment can be made. What are the specific statutory codes the person was arrested for? How many other charges were filed against them? What was their prior arrest history? Conviction History? Were they on probation or parole at the time? In addition to these issues, the litany of aggravating and mitigating factors that can affect the sentence is not short. Respectfully, a statutory sentencing range frequently has no correlation to the sentence actually imposed. Good luck.

The short answer is that neither Mr. Bailey nor I practice in WA; therefore we could not sensibly evaluate the charges you mention. I don't know what 2nd degree kidnapping is in WA and I doubt Mr. Bailey does either. If you are truly interested in this "someone's" fate, consult with a WA criminal lawyer.

Kidnapping in the 2nd degree is a class B felony and a sentence will depend on many factors, including prior offenses and related crimes.
I have pasted a link to the statute. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9A.40.030
