STD Testing in Washington - What You Need to Know
How Common Are STDs in Washington?
Washington is the Evergreen State — a Pacific Northwest powerhouse where Seattle's tech giants (Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing) and world-class coffee culture share a landscape with volcanic peaks, ancient rainforests, and the vast agricultural plains of the Columbia Basin. With roughly 7.8 million residents, Washington stretches from the cosmopolitan Puget Sound corridor to the wine country of Walla Walla and the university town of Pullman, blending one of the most educated and highest-income populations in the country with deep rural isolation east of the Cascades.
That prosperity, however, has not prevented one of the most dramatic STI escalations on the West Coast. Syphilis cases increased by over 600% between 2014 and 2023, a surge public health officials describe as the most severe since the pre-antibiotic era. King County (Seattle) accounts for the majority of statewide diagnoses, with an unhoused population estimated at over 12,000 individuals creating a significant reservoir for untreated syphilis and gonorrhea in Downtown, Capitol Hill, and SoDo. Pierce County (Tacoma) and Spokane County represent secondary concentrations, while JBLM in Pierce County houses over 40,000 service members — one of the largest Army installations in the Pacific. The University of Washington enrolls over 47,000 students, WSU another 20,000 in Pullman, and WWU adds a third concentration near the Canadian border — making confidential, private testing a practical option across the state.
Washington STD Rates: By the Numbers
Washington ranks below the national average for chlamydia and gonorrhea, but syphilis has emerged as a crisis. According to CDC surveillance data and the Washington State Department of Health:
• Washington's combined STD rate of approximately 541 per 100,000 in 2023 is roughly 26% below the national average of 734 — but this moderate overall picture masks a severe syphilis emergency
• Chlamydia ranks #42 nationally at 354.4 per 100,000 with 27,687 cases, while gonorrhea ranks #34 — both well below national averages and declining
• Primary and secondary syphilis ranks #13 nationally at 21.3 per 100,000 with 1,665 cases — the category where Washington places highest — having nearly doubled since 2020 and surged over 600% since 2014
• Congenital syphilis cases jumped from 10 in 2020 to 57 in 2023 — a 5.7-fold increase — with the Washington DOH identifying gaps in prenatal screening among pregnant women experiencing homelessness or substance use as the primary driver
• King County (Seattle) accounts for over half of all chlamydia cases, roughly two-thirds of gonorrhea cases, and nearly two-thirds of syphilis cases statewide — making it the most concentrated STI environment in the Pacific Northwest
• The Seattle-Tacoma metro recorded the 10th highest chlamydia increase and 8th highest gonorrhea increase among all major U.S. metros over a five-year period, even as statewide rates remained below average
• Many infections show no symptoms — making routine testing the only reliable way to know your status
