Ultrasonographer Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ultrasonographer in Washington?
Washington does not issue a separate state license for ultrasonographers, so your credential comes from a national certifying body. Most employers require at minimum an ARDMS credential in a recognized specialty such as Abdomen, OB/GYN, or Vascular. To earn that credential, you complete a CAAHEP-accredited associate or bachelor's degree program in diagnostic medical sonography, then pass the relevant specialty exam. Washington employers, including hospital systems and imaging groups, treat active national certification as the practical entry requirement.
How much do ultrasonographers make in Washington?
Ultrasonographers in Washington earn a median of about $121,340 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $61,840 for the lowest 10% to over $156,860 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire ultrasonographers in Washington?
Companies currently hiring ultrasonographers in Washington include Seattle Children's, Island Health, and EvergreenHealth, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Washington's large integrated health systems and independent imaging networks tend to post the most consistent volume across the state.
Which Washington cities have the most ultrasonographer jobs?
Seattle, Kirkland, and Puyallup have the most ultrasonographer openings in Washington. Seattle anchors the market through its dense concentration of academic medical centers and specialty clinics, while Tacoma and Spokane generate steady volume through regional hospital systems and outpatient imaging networks that serve surrounding communities.
Are there remote ultrasonographer jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're rare. Hands-on patient scanning cannot be performed remotely, so the vast majority of ultrasonographer roles require on-site presence. About 0% of ultrasonographer openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions typically involve tele-interpretation, quality review, or administrative imaging coordination rather than direct scanning duties.
How can I get hired as a ultrasonographer in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate or limited-experience postings at large Washington health systems such as UW Medicine, MultiCare, and Providence, which periodically run structured new-grad sonographer programs that include mentored clinical rotations. Candidates coming from related roles such as radiologic technologist, medical assistant working in imaging, or cardiovascular technician can leverage that adjacent clinical experience. Holding an active ARDMS credential in even one specialty, plus a completed CAAHEP-accredited program, gives applicants a concrete edge over unlicensed candidates in a field where employers screen on certification first.
Where can I find and apply to ultrasonographer jobs in Washington?
