CRNA Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a crna in Washington?
To become a crna in Washington, you must hold a registered nurse license issued by the Washington State Department of Health, complete an accredited nurse anesthesia program at the master's or doctoral level, and pass the National Certification Examination through the NBCRNA. Washington does not require a separate state-specific crna license beyond your RN licensure and national certification, but you must maintain an unencumbered Washington RN license to practice anesthesia independently in the state.
How much do CRNAs make in Washington?
CRNAs in Washington earn a median of about $274,390 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $218,640 for the lowest 10% to over $358,160 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire crnas in Washington?
Employers hiring crnas in Washington right now include Somnia, Gastro Health, and Kaiser Permanente, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's large integrated health systems, including both urban academic medical centers and regional community hospitals, tend to post the most consistent openings across the state.
Which Washington cities have the most crna jobs?
Seattle, Tacoma, and Everett account for the largest share of crna openings in Washington. Seattle leads because of its concentration of academic medical centers and specialty surgical facilities, while Spokane and Tacoma draw significant volume from regional health systems like MultiCare and Providence that operate multiple campuses and surgical sites across eastern and south Puget Sound communities.
Are there remote crna jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're rare. Anesthesia is a hands-on clinical role that requires physical presence in the operating room or procedural suite, so remote work applies to a very small subset of the field. About 33% of crna openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are typically limited to roles in telemedicine oversight, clinical education, or anesthesia quality review rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a crna in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate crna programs at large Washington health systems, which are designed for candidates coming out of accredited anesthesia programs without independent practice experience. UW Medicine and MultiCare Health System have historically offered structured onboarding and mentorship tracks for new graduates. Candidates with backgrounds as ICU nurses, particularly those with experience in cardiac or surgical critical care at Washington facilities, have the strongest footing for competitive new-grad crna roles across the state.
Where can I find and apply to crna jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to crna jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Search the listings to see roles that match your specialty and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
