Does the lease say anything specific about damage/destruction?

Under RCW 59.18.150: "The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make necessary or agreed repairs, alterations, or improvements, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers, or contractors."

If the Tenant is refusing access in order to perform repairs that necessary and failure to address them continues to harm the property, I think you have a good case for waste per RCW 59.18.650(2)(c)

UD Gurus, is there a provision for kicking a T out when there has been substantial damage to the premises?  Unit floods with 3 inches of water a month ago but NOT caused by T.  T refuses to move or allow insurance company to come in and repair.  My thought is that this may be under RCW 59.18.650(2)(c) when the T "commits or permits waste or nuisance." Who knows what mold is developing now?  The argument is that T is permitting the waste (dry rot, mold) to continue.  What say you?
