I kegged a batch of Belgian about a week ago and dumped the yeast cake, WLP 410, into a disinfected Growler. After chilling I dumped all the liquid on top out and left about 1 inch on top, its just beer. the Growlers chilling at about 35 dg. Can I wait a few more days to wash it ?
 
If your sanitation was good you should be fine. I have left a yeast cake with 1/4 inch beer on it for 2 week before washing with no problem but i would not make a habit of it.
