Everett Fire Department
PST · FST- Written / online testing

King County · City department
Seattle Fire Department
NTN · firefighter exam- Written / online testing
- FireTEAM and PSSA1. Seattle distinguishes taking a new test from transferring eligible scores; read that rule before scheduling.
- Physical test
- CPAT through Seattle's own hiring process at NTN. The department requires a new CPAT for each process even if you already hold a valid result.
- Application steps
- Use Seattle's application instructions and NTN requirements. Test registration alone is not the city application.
- Credentials
- EMT is not required to apply or test. Washington EMT certification or sponsorship eligibility is required before recruit school.

Spokane Fire Department
Department / civil-service exam- Written / online testing
- City written examination, in person by invitation. Spokane explicitly no longer uses PST written scores for hiring.

- Application steps
- Apply to the city posting, then follow the city's written-test invitation and CPAT instructions.
- Credentials
- Check the city's minimum qualifications for your cycle; this snapshot does not establish EMT timing.
