Pediatric Physical Therapist Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pediatric physical therapist in Washington?
You become a pediatric physical therapist in Washington by earning a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from an accredited program, passing the National Physical Therapy Examination, and obtaining licensure through the Washington State Department of Health Physical Therapy Program. Washington does not participate in the PT Compact, so out-of-state therapists must apply directly for a Washington license. After licensure, most pediatric roles require or strongly prefer clinical hours with children, which many therapists build through clinical rotations or early career positions in pediatric settings.
How much do pediatric physical therapists make in Washington?
Pediatric physical therapists in Washington earn a median of about $105,950 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,300 for the lowest 10% to over $137,560 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pediatric physical therapists in Washington?
Employers hiring pediatric physical therapists in Washington right now include MultiCare Health System, Children's Therapy of Woodinville, and Washington Elks Therapy Program for Children, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Washington's large integrated health systems and its nationally recognized children's hospitals make the state a particularly strong market for pediatric PT roles across both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Which Washington cities have the most pediatric physical therapist jobs?
The cities with the most pediatric physical therapist openings in Washington are Puyallup, Yakima, and Bothell. Seattle drives the largest share of postings given the concentration of major health systems and Seattle Children's Hospital, while Spokane and Tacoma generate consistent volume through regional hospital networks, school districts, and outpatient therapy groups that serve substantial pediatric populations in Eastern and South Puget Sound Washington.
Are there remote pediatric physical therapist jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're rare. Pediatric physical therapy is a hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require in-person patient care. About 0% of pediatric physical therapist openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those are concentrated in telehealth consultation, care coordination, or supervision and training roles rather than direct patient treatment.
How can I get hired as a pediatric physical therapist in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate or residency positions at Washington's larger pediatric-focused employers. Seattle Children's Hospital runs a formal PT residency program that accepts new graduates and provides structured pediatric training. MultiCare and Providence also hire new-grad PTs into rotational or mentored roles. Completing your clinical fieldwork hours in a Washington pediatric setting during your DPT program substantially strengthens your candidacy, and obtaining your Washington State DOH license promptly after the NPTE removes a common hiring barrier for new graduates.
Where can I find and apply to pediatric physical therapist jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to pediatric physical therapist jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Find the roles that fit your experience and specialty and apply directly.
