Physical Therapy Assistant Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapy assistant in Washington?
To become a physical therapy assistant in Washington, you must complete an associate degree from a CAPTE-accredited physical therapy assisting program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination for PTAs administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy, and then apply for licensure through the Washington State Department of Health. The Department of Health issues the state license required to practice in Washington, and it must be renewed on a regular cycle to stay active.
Which companies hire physical therapy assistants in Washington?
Companies currently hiring physical therapy assistants in Washington include ATI Physical Therapy, Providence, and Eden Health, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Washington's mix of large integrated health systems, regional hospital networks, and independently operated outpatient orthopedic clinics means openings appear across a wide range of employer types throughout the state.
Which Washington cities have the most physical therapy assistant jobs?
Seattle, Renton, and Spokane have the most physical therapy assistant openings in Washington. Seattle leads because of its density of hospital systems, specialty clinics, and academic medical centers, while Spokane and Tacoma generate steady volume through regional health networks, Veterans Affairs facilities, and the large skilled nursing and long-term care sectors that serve their surrounding populations.
Are there remote physical therapy assistant jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're rare. About 7% of physical therapy assistant openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, which reflects that most of the work requires hands-on patient contact that cannot be performed at a distance. The small share of remote roles tends to involve documentation review, telehealth coordination support, or administrative functions rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a physical therapy assistant in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate positions at Washington's larger health systems, which regularly hire PTAs immediately after licensure. MultiCare Health System, UW Medicine, and Providence Health all bring on early-career PTAs through their clinical onboarding programs. Candidates who worked as physical therapy aides, rehab technicians, or home health aides during school have the easiest lateral move into PTA roles, and holding an active Washington Department of Health license before the interview gives a candidate a clear edge over applicants still awaiting licensure.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapy assistant jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to physical therapy assistant jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings. Search the listings, find the roles that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
