Physical Therapist Career Context

In Washington, the Physical Therapy weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$101k (568 salary observations; 1,166 listings), vs ~$94k nationally (14,787 salary observations; 56,350 listings). Monthly aggregates cover 2026-01-01 through 2026-10-01; these are not the modal's selected comparable-job medians.

The cost-of-living index for Washington is 107.0 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$79k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $74k in an average-cost state. 59.8% of Washington clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).

Location & Logistics

Washington has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$79k midpoint, that is roughly $3k–$6k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
