Employment Claim in Washington

In Washington, the statute of limitations for filing an employment discrimination claim under state law is 1095 days. This means a person alleging unlawful employment practices under Wash. Rev.

The law prohibits certain employment actions based on protected characteristics, and the 1095-day window governs how long someone has to seek legal recourse. The official statute sets out the specific prohibited practices and any applicable exceptions. The worked example below demonstrates how the 1095-day timeline applies in a typical scenario.
