Publisher’s Notice

All employment advertising in this newspaper is subject to the Washington Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (EPOA). EPOA establishes that, if an employer has 15 or more employees, “The employer must disclose in each posting for each job opening: (i) The wage scale or salary range, except where the employer is offering only a fixed wage amount for the opening, the employer must disclose the fixed wage amount rather than a scale or range; and (ii) a general description of all of the benefits and other compensation to be offered to the hired applicant.” As established by the act, “posting” is defined as “any solicitation intended to recruit job applicants for a specific available position” including, but not limited to, “any postings done electronically, or with a printed hard copy, that includes qualifications for desired applicants.”

This newspaper will not knowingly accept any advertising for employment that violates EPOA. Our readers are hereby informed, as of March 11, 2026, that all employment advertisements in this newspaper must clearly define the criteria specified in the act. To complain of a violation, call the toll-free Washington State Department of Labor and Industries at 1-866-219-7321.
