90 accredited attorneys, 15 claims agents and 181 VSO representatives are based in Washington.
Washington's 105 attorneys and agents work out to 2.06 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 40 of 52 states and territories.
Of Washington's 39 counties, 15 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (38.5 percent). County locations could not be matched for 5 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Washington are in Seattle (34), Tacoma (14), Olympia (7), Spokane (7), and Vancouver (4).
Washington added 8 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Washington: 5.1 years.
In these counties, the nearest help may be a free county VSO, or an attorney who works with you by phone and online.
Washington's VA regional office is in Seattle.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Washington 2.06; Idaho 1.47; Oregon 1.32. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 510,000 veterans live in Washington, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 173,242 veterans in Washington received VA disability compensation at the end of fiscal year 2025. VA does not publish very small county counts, so the true number is a little higher.
That works out to about one accredited attorney or claims agent for every 1,600 people in Washington receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Washington address: 14,217 claims pending, 12.3 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Washington address, VA averaged 78.1 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
Seattle regional office: 5,363 claims pending, 15.2 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 77.3 days pending.
VA moves claims between offices, so an office's queue can include claims from other states.
Board hearings are mostly virtual, so an attorney does not need to be local.
