Washington does not require a state-issued license for this role. Employers in Seattle and Bellevue place strong weight on cloud platform certifications such as Microsoft Azure Data Analyst Associate or Google Professional Data Engineer, alongside a portfolio demonstrating end-to-end dashboard and reporting projects.
How much do senior business intelligence analysts make in Washington?
Senior business intelligence analysts in Washington earn a median of about $163,350 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $79,930 for the lowest 10% to over $220,040 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire senior business intelligence analysts in Washington?
Employers hiring senior business intelligence analysts in Washington right now include Amazon, Amazon Web Services, and Google, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026.
