Radiation Therapist Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a radiation therapist in Washington?
You must hold an active radiation therapist license issued by the Washington State Department of Health, which requires completing an accredited radiation therapy program and passing the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists certification exam in radiation therapy. Applications go through the Washington State Department of Health's Health Systems Quality Assurance division. Most Washington employers expect both the state license and ARRT certification to be active before your start date, though some large systems offer new-grad onboarding that accommodates pending licensure.
How much do radiation therapists make in Washington?
Radiation therapists in Washington earn a median of about $125,880 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $98,160 for the lowest 10% to over $174,670 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire radiation therapists in Washington?
Employers hiring radiation therapists in Washington right now include Providence, Spokane Urology, and Spokane Urology PS, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Washington's major integrated health systems, including several with dedicated cancer institutes across multiple campuses, tend to post the most consistent volume of radiation therapist openings throughout the year.
Which Washington cities have the most radiation therapist jobs?
Spokane Valley, Seattle, and Lacey have the most radiation therapist openings in Washington. Seattle drives the largest share of postings thanks to its concentration of academic medical centers and specialty cancer programs, while Spokane's role as the regional hub for eastern Washington healthcare and Tacoma's growing MultiCare and CHI Franciscan campuses account for strong activity in those metro areas.
Are there remote radiation therapist jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're rare. Radiation therapy is a hands-on clinical role requiring direct patient contact and operation of treatment equipment, so the vast majority of positions require on-site presence. About 0% of radiation therapist openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles are typically in dosimetry review, quality assurance oversight, or clinical education rather than direct patient treatment.
How can I get hired as a radiation therapist in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate programs at Washington's large integrated health systems, where UW Medicine, Providence, and MultiCare periodically run structured onboarding cohorts for newly credentialed therapists. Completing a clinical rotation at a Washington facility during your accredited program strengthens your candidacy significantly. Candidates coming from related imaging or medical assisting roles can also transition by securing ARRT registry eligibility and meeting the Washington State Department of Health licensing requirements, which positions them for entry-level radiation therapist postings ahead of peers without any clinical exposure.
Where can I find and apply to radiation therapist jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to radiation therapist jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that fit your credentials and experience and apply directly to the employers posting them.
