Physical Therapist Assistant Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a physical therapist assistant in Washington?

To work as a physical therapist assistant in Washington, you must obtain a license from the Washington State Department of Health. This requires completing an associate degree from a CAPTE-accredited PTA program and passing the National Physical Therapy Examination for PTAs, administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. After passing the exam, you apply for licensure through the Washington State Department of Health before practicing.

How much do physical therapist assistants make in Washington?

Physical therapist assistants in Washington earn a median of about $66,450 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $36,610 for the lowest 10% to over $93,140 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire physical therapist assistants in Washington?

Employers hiring physical therapist assistants in Washington right now include HiredFirst, ATI Physical Therapy, and Voyage Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's large integrated health systems, regional skilled nursing chains, and school districts are among the most consistent sources of PTA openings across the state.

Which Washington cities have the most physical therapist assistant jobs?

Pasco, Seattle, and Aberdeen have the most physical therapist assistant openings in Washington. Seattle anchors the market through its density of hospital campuses, outpatient clinics, and specialty rehab centers, while Spokane and Tacoma generate strong demand from regional health systems, long-term care facilities, and community health organizations serving growing suburban and rural populations.

Are there remote physical therapist assistant jobs in Washington?

Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapist assistant work is inherently hands-on, requiring direct patient contact for therapeutic exercises and manual techniques. About 0% of physical therapist assistant openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically involve telehealth coordination, documentation support, or care navigation rather than direct patient treatment.

How can I get hired as a physical therapist assistant in Washington with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate PTA roles at Washington's large health systems, which regularly hire new licensees for supervised positions at facilities like MultiCare or Providence. Completing clinical rotations at Washington outpatient clinics or skilled nursing facilities often leads directly to job offers. Lateral moves from physical therapy aide or rehab technician roles are common stepping stones, and holding an active Washington State DOH license before your start date gives you a clear edge over candidates still awaiting licensure.

Where can I find and apply to physical therapist assistant jobs in Washington?

You can find and apply to physical therapist assistant jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings from employers across the state. Search the available roles, find ones that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
