Optometrist Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a optometrist in Washington?
To practice in Washington you must hold a license issued by the Washington State Department of Health, which requires a Doctor of Optometry degree from an accredited program and passage of all National Board of Examiners in Optometry examinations. Washington also requires a therapeutic pharmaceutical agents certification to prescribe medications. Applications are submitted through the Washington State Department of Health licensing portal, and the license must be renewed biennially with continuing education.
How much do optometrists make in Washington?

Which companies hire optometrists in Washington?
Employers hiring optometrists in Washington right now include AEG Vision, Doctor's Exchange of Washington PC, and LensCrafters, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's mix of large integrated health systems, national retail optical chains, and independent private practices means openings appear across a wide range of practice settings and patient populations.
Which Washington cities have the most optometrist jobs?
Tacoma, Seattle, and Spokane account for the most optometrist openings in Washington. Seattle and Bellevue drive volume through their large integrated health systems and dense retail optical footprint, while Spokane anchors demand in eastern Washington as the region's primary healthcare hub, supporting both clinic-based and hospital-affiliated optometry roles.
Are there remote optometrist jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're rare. Optometry is a hands-on clinical role that requires in-person patient exams, so most positions are fully on-site. About 0% of optometrist openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those openings typically involve tele-optometry consultations, vision therapy follow-up, or administrative and clinical leadership functions that do not require a patient in the chair.
How can I get hired as a optometrist in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an optometry residency or associate position at a large Washington health system or retail chain. MultiCare Health System, Kaiser Permanente, and established retail optical locations in the Seattle metro regularly bring on new graduates in supervised associate roles. Completing a one-year accredited residency, particularly in ocular disease or primary care, strengthens candidacy significantly. Graduates who hold a current Washington license and therapeutic certification before job searching move through hiring faster than those still awaiting credentials.
Where can I find and apply to optometrist jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to optometrist jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from Washington employers across private practice, retail optical, and health system settings.
