We offer a robust and competitive benefits package, reflecting our commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of our employees and their families. Designed with flexibility in mind, our benefits allow employees to choose options that best meet their individual needs. Employees who work at least 20 hours per week on a regular schedule are eligible for health benefits.

Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance

We pay 85% to 100% of the average premium for our comprehensive group medical and dental insurance plans for full-time employees and their family members. Part-time employees receive pro-rated benefit contributions.

Employees with other coverage can choose to waive our medical and/or dental coverage and instead receive a monthly contribution to either a Flexible Spending Account for dependent/childcare costs or a Health Reimbursement Account for out-of-pocket medical, dental and vision expenses.

Life & Disability Insurance

We provide a term life insurance policy valued at $48,000 and a long-term disability insurance policy at no cost to the employee.

​

Employees may also choose to purchase additional coverage, including:

• Supplemental life and long-term disability insurance
  

• Dependent life insurance
  

• Accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance
  

• Short-term disability insurance

Retirement & Savings Plans

Eligible employees participate in the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) – a defined benefit retirement plan managed by the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems. The plan is funded through combined employer and employee contributions.

Additionally, we offer access to three 457 Deferred Compensation plans, allowing employees to contribute a portion of their income toward retirement on a tax-deferred basis. These plans are similar to 401(k) plans offered in the private sector.

Professional Development

We support career growth through a continuing education allowance and paid time off for training, allowing employees to learn new skills and pursue their professional goals.

Paid Time Off

​

Our generous paid leave policies include:

• General Leave: Eligible full-time employees accrue general leave based on years of service, starting at 18 days per year and increasing gradually up to 31 days per year after 25 years of service. General leave may be used for vacation, personal appointments, or minor illnesses.
  

• Extended Leave: Provides 6 days per year for longer-term illness, injury, or pregnancy.
  

• Holidays: 11 paid holidays each year, including the day after Thanksgiving and one personal floating holiday.
  

• Bereavement Leave: Time off to grieve and manage the loss of an immediate family member.
  

• Other Leave: We offer all state and federally mandated leave, including Family and Medical Leave, Military Leave, and other types of leave that help employees navigate significant life events.

General and extended leave accrual for part-time employees is pro-rated based on full-time equivalency.
