Boss recording our conversations

I live in Washington state which is a 2 party consent state and I've just learned that the security cameras in our office record audio. No one in our office has signed a form to consent to being recorded. We work In a chiropractic/massage setting so we are often speaking about clients medical charts or appointments coming up. According to the other girls in our office the boss will go home after his shift and listen to the conversations we have during the day and keep tabs on what we talk about to penalize us later if we're chatting. I never thought about the cameras because it's common to have cameras for security but now that I know he's recording audio and actively listening to everything I say I'm nervous, this isn't legal is it? Is there something I can do? I don't want to quit other than this one…

Is there something I can do? I don't want to quit other than this one thing my job is quite nice but it brings up a huge red flag for me.
