Meet a Washington-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Federal Way is a south King County suburb between Seattle and Tacoma, with access to both cities' job markets via Interstate 5.
For Federal Way renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Washington. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 99,700 residents, Federal Way in King County is Washington’s tenth-largest city. Renters across Federal Way Town Center, The Commons, Twin Lakes, Redondo and Dash Point rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Washington has no ESA-specific housing statute, so the federal Fair Housing Act and Washington’s own fair housing law set the rules. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Washington State Human Rights Commission or with HUD. For the details, read our Washington ESA law guide.

Quickly — same-day slots are usually open, and approved letters reach you within 10-15 minutes of the evaluation.
It does. The professional must hold an active Washington license, which is who you’re matched with when you select Federal Way.
Yes. The Fair Housing Act reaches HOAs, condo boards and co-ops, so community pet rules are subject to the same reasonable accommodation process.
