The average annual salary for psychologists in Washington State is about $67,600, which is roughly 3.5% lower than the national mean.  As may be seen below, average annual salaries tend to be slightly higher in Spokane; however, the difference in pay is not significant between Washington’s cities.  Yet, like in most Northwestern states, the pay for each area of psychology is sometimes significantly lower than the national mean. 

For example, the average annual salary for a counseling psychologist in the capital city of Olympia is almost 20% lower than the national mean for counseling psychologists.
