Washington Noncompete Law
The dollar threshold was not reconfirmed.
The rule
The August 2025 article said Washington limits the enforceability of noncompetes. This review did not open the Revised Code of Washington page, so no dollar threshold is stated. A law-firm chart of 2026 thresholds was not used.
Wording left as it was
This review could not confirm the next point from an official source, so it is unchanged:
WA limits enforceability of noncompetes.
What employers must do
Do not tell a partner that a noncompete is valid, or that it is void, from the one-line article. Ask counsel before anyone signs one.
Effective dates
No January 1, 2027 threshold was confirmed, because the statute page was not opened.
What this means for BOSS partners and associates
BOSS is often the employer of record for the associate. Wage, break, leave, posting, and tax rules usually follow the state where the associate works. Tell BOSS that state before the assignment starts. Associates should record every hour worked on the timesheet. Do not promise a pay practice, a leave bank, or a posting the statute does not require.
