Physical Therapist Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapist in Washington?
To become a physical therapist in Washington, you must hold a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from a CAPTE-accredited program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination, and obtain a license from the Washington State Department of Health. The Department of Health's Physical Therapy Board oversees all licensure applications and renewal. Washington does not participate in the PT Compact, so out-of-state applicants must apply for licensure by endorsement directly through the Department of Health.
How much do physical therapists make in Washington?
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 physical therapists in Washington?
Employers hiring physical therapists in Washington right now include ATI Physical Therapy, American Traveler, and HiredFirst, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's largest health systems, including UW Medicine and Providence Health, maintain ongoing physical therapist hiring pipelines across their hospital, outpatient, and home health divisions throughout the state.
Which Washington cities have the most physical therapist jobs?
Seattle, Tacoma, and Lacey have the most physical therapist openings in Washington. Seattle's concentration of major hospital systems and specialty clinics drives the highest volume, while Spokane's role as the medical hub of eastern Washington and Bellevue's dense outpatient clinic market account for strong hiring in those areas as well.
Are there remote physical therapist jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is a hands-on clinical role, so the large majority of positions require in-person patient care. About 4% of physical therapist openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are typically telehealth consultation roles or administrative and supervisory positions rather than direct patient treatment roles.
How can I get hired as a physical therapist in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a post-professional residency or new-graduate position at a large Washington health system such as UW Medicine or MultiCare, both of which run structured clinical residency programs in orthopedics and other specialties. New graduates with a Washington Department of Health license in hand and clinical rotations completed in Washington are competitive for staff PT roles at outpatient clinics and acute care units. Working as a physical therapy aide or physical therapist assistant while completing licensure is a common stepping stone that gives candidates a hiring edge within established Washington employer networks.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to physical therapist jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings updated regularly. Find roles that fit your experience and specialty, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
