Athletic Trainer Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become an athletic trainer in Washington?

To work as an athletic trainer in Washington, you must hold an active license issued by the Washington State Department of Health. Licensure requires graduation from a CAATE-accredited program and a passing score on the Board of Certification examination. After passing, you apply directly to the Washington State Department of Health for your license. The state requires ongoing continuing education for renewal, and practicing without a license is prohibited.

How much do athletic trainers make in Washington?

Athletic trainers in Washington earn a median of about $63,750 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $49,290 for the lowest 10% to over $88,610 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire athletic trainers in Washington?

Employers hiring athletic trainers in Washington right now include LA Fitness, The Bay Club Company, and LA Fitness (Fitness International), based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's mix of large hospital systems, university athletic programs, and public school districts means openings appear regularly across a range of settings, from outpatient clinics to collegiate sports programs.

Which Washington cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?

Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma have the most athletic trainer openings in Washington. Seattle drives the highest volume through its concentration of hospital systems, university programs, and sports medicine clinics, while Spokane and Tacoma support steady demand through regional health networks, community colleges, and K-12 school districts with dedicated athletic training positions.

Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Washington?

Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is a hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require in-person presence. About 0% of athletic trainer openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to involve administrative coordination, telehealth triage support, or program oversight rather than direct patient or athlete care.

How can I get hired as an athletic trainer in Washington with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for staff or assistant athletic trainer roles at high school districts or smaller college programs, where Washington employers are more likely to consider candidates who are newly board-certified. MultiCare, Providence, and University of Washington often post entry-level sports medicine or clinical athletic training positions. Completing a clinical rotation or internship at a Washington facility during your accredited program strengthens your application, and holding your Washington State Department of Health license before you apply removes a common barrier for hiring managers.

Where can I find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Washington?

You can find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your credentials and preferred setting, and apply directly to each employer through the listing.
