Clinical Research Coordinator Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a clinical research coordinator in Washington?
Most clinical research coordinators in Washington start with a bachelor's degree in biology, nursing, public health, or a related field, then build experience through entry-level research assistant or coordinator roles. Washington does not require a state-specific license for the CRC role itself, but earning certification through SOCRA (the Society of Clinical Research Associates) or ACRP (the Association of Clinical Research Professionals) strengthens your candidacy considerably with institutions like UW Medicine and Fred Hutchinson.
How much do clinical research coordinators make in Washington?
Clinical research coordinators in Washington earn a median of about $182,480 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $117,590 for the lowest 10% to over $324,740 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire clinical research coordinators in Washington?
Employers hiring clinical research coordinators in Washington right now include Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, ERA Health Research, and Eastside Research Associates, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's concentration of academic medical centers, cancer research institutes, and biotech firms means demand is consistent across both large health systems and contract research organizations operating in the Seattle metro.
Which Washington cities have the most clinical research coordinator jobs?
Seattle, Redmond, and Joint Base Lewis McChord account for the largest share of clinical research coordinator openings in Washington. Seattle dominates because of its dense cluster of academic medical centers, cancer research institutes, and biotech employers, while Spokane's openings are driven largely by Providence Health and Washington State University Health Sciences, making both metros genuine hiring centers rather than secondary spillovers.
Are there remote clinical research coordinator jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're limited. About 33% of clinical research coordinator openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most CRC work. The parts of the role most compatible with remote arrangements are regulatory submissions, data entry, and sponsor communication, while patient visits, specimen collection, and on-site protocol procedures typically require in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a clinical research coordinator in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a research assistant or clinical trials assistant role at a large Washington academic medical center, where on-the-job training under a senior CRC is standard. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and UW Medicine regularly post associate CRC and study coordinator trainee openings designed for candidates without prior trial experience. Coming from a phlebotomy, medical assistant, or clinical data entry background gives you a credible lateral move, and completing a GCP certification course before you apply signals readiness to hiring managers.
Where can I find and apply to clinical research coordinator jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to clinical research coordinator jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings across health systems, research institutes, and contract research organizations. Search the roles that fit your experience level and specialty area, then apply directly to the ones that match.
