Connecting garden hose to washer hookup

I'm wondering if it's safe to hook up a garden hose (would be used for cleaning a deck) to a washer hookup. Ultimately if it is, I'd like to split the hookup so I don't have to disconnect the washer to use it.

Look carefully at the splitters when shopping. I got a cheap one once and the internal passage was so small it seriously affected the volume and pressure. The second one I got had nice big passages and worked perfectly.
