Your best bet is to harvest yeast directly from the primary. Yeast are quite sensitive to alcohol and do not do well in the conditions found in a secondary. You can definitely try washing the yeast, but you're probably better off just getting a new batch of yeast for your next brew. You can wash from the primary without any problems with the new yeast.
