The state runs most workers comp programs as far as I know. How is Washington any different than say California? I may have had to follow some one time instructions to initially setup a workers comp account in California, but I haven't touched it since. And my $50/month payroll service handles all of the payments and filings for me.

Here is Gusto’s page on worker’s compensation:

All 50 states have a different process. Many require you to get a private policy but some have state run funds.

As an example, I have to deal with my insurance agent annually for my worker’s compensation in California and then deal with Washington separately for their scheme.

Oh yes, you are right about workers comp. My mind just went to unemploent insurance everytime I read workers comp.
