Can I start this Washington assignment on my multistate license?
Yes—Washington is a Nurse Licensure Compact member, so an active multistate RN license covers this assignment.

Our Washington Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.
Explore Tacoma, WA
Commencement Bay fronts Tacoma, WA beneath Mount Rainier's enormous profile, the South Sound's anchor city and a hospital market deep enough to keep emergency, intensive care, and telemetry assignments posting through the year. Point Defiance spreads its old-growth forest, zoo, gardens, and ferry docks across one enormous peninsula park. The Museum of Glass and its pedestrian bridge of blown art anchor the city's rebuilt downtown waterfront district. Most travelers find housing well below Seattle by a meaningful margin, the gritty-turned-artsy draw that keeps travelers choosing the south end. The Proctor and Sixth Avenue districts carry the restaurant evenings with real neighborhood character. Seattle is about forty minutes north, and Rainier's trailheads wait about ninety minutes southeast.
