Pathologist Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pathologist in Washington?
To practice as a pathologist in Washington, you must hold an active medical license issued by the Washington Medical Commission, which requires completing an accredited MD or DO program, finishing a pathology residency, and passing the United States Medical Licensing Examination steps. Most Washington hospital systems and laboratories also require or strongly prefer board certification through the American Board of Pathology before hiring into an attending role.
How much do pathologists make in Washington?
Pathologists in Washington earn a median of about $300,680 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $93,310 for the lowest 10% to over $460,870 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pathologists in Washington?
Employers hiring pathologists in Washington right now include Edu-Aids, Career Links, and CenterWell, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's mix of large academic medical centers, regional health systems, and national reference laboratory networks means openings range from hospital-based staff pathologist roles to remote digital review positions.
Which Washington cities have the most pathologist jobs?
Seattle, Tacoma, and Auburn have the most pathologist openings in Washington. Seattle leads because of its concentration of academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, and biotech-affiliated laboratories, while Spokane and other cities appear on the list largely because of regional health systems and multi-site laboratory networks that draw from the broader eastern Washington population.
Are there remote pathologist jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely desk-based fields because pathology involves direct specimen handling and laboratory oversight that requires on-site presence for many duties. About 12% of pathologist openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are typically in digital pathology, telepathology consultation, or administrative medical director roles that do not require bench work.
How can I get hired as a pathologist in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path for candidates without attending experience is completing a fellowship at a Washington institution such as UW Medicine, which runs subspecialty programs in neuropathology, hematopathology, and molecular pathology that feed directly into staff openings. Candidates finishing residency can also target reference laboratory networks operating in Washington for first-year staff pathologist roles, where workload volume allows newer graduates to build sign-out experience. Holding an active Washington Medical Commission license before you apply and pursuing board certification during your search gives you a clear edge over unlicensed applicants.
Where can I find and apply to pathologist jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to pathologist jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings across health systems, reference laboratories, and academic medical centers. Find roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly to each one.
