Jobs For Teens in Washington

Washington State offers a great variety of things to do for people of all ages, teenagers included. There are all sorts of outdoor activities to enjoy, to include whale watching trips, and visits to places like Mount Rainier National Park, Mount St. Helens, and Riverfront Park in Spokane. There are sporting events and museums along the coast. Teens in Seattle can visit the Pike Place Market and the space needle, and we cannot overlook the opportunity for root beer tasting! For teenagers in Washington who are interested in employment, the 5.8% state unemployment rate should not get in the way of their job search.

If you're under 16 years of age, there are specific labor laws in Washington that don't allow you to work for traditional employers.  Of course, if you're 14 or 15 years old you can get a work permit in Washington, but otherwise there isn't too much information on this page that will help you.  With that being said, if you're under 16 years of age and don't have a work permit, please select the appropriate age below to find jobs that suit your age group.

If you're under 16 years old, your job options are different. Please select your age below:
