In Washington, electrical contractors are licensed by the state, not the city. RCW 19.28.041 makes it unlawful to advertise, bid on, or carry on the business of installing or maintaining electrical wiring or equipment without an electrical contractor license from the Department of Labor and Industries. Applicants post a $4,000 bond or cash deposit and designate someone who holds a master electrician's certificate, or an administrator's certificate, for the type of work. The license can be general or limited to a specialty. Look the Spokane company up on L&I's Verify tool before you hire.
