3 collection sites across 3 banks, $1,400–$2,400/month.
In Washington: 3 walk-in bank sites. Known-donor agencies work nationwide — including Washington — so a directed match is an option even where no bank is within driving distance.
Washington splits neatly by geography. Spokane donors can reach California Cryobank ($2,400/month, the top payer nationwide), while Seattle-area donors get Seattle Sperm Bank — which has no height requirement — plus Cascade in nearby Lynnwood.
Seattle metro
SSB ($1,500/mo, no height req) and Cascade ($1,400/mo)
Spokane
CCB ($2,400/mo) — highest-paying bank in the country
Eastern WA donors get the highest pay; Seattle-area donors trade some pay for easier entry.
A separate route from the walk-in banks above: directed / known-donor agencies match you to specific intended parents and work in all 50 states, including Washington. The family pays a per-cycle fee ($5k–$100k), usually trait-priced and released from escrow after FDA clearance — not a monthly wage, so it doesn't sort against bank pay.
“MSM” = whether the agency welcomes gay/bisexual donors. Directed donation is exempt from the FDA anonymous-bank deferral, but only Seed Scout says so on its own pages — treat “Ask agency” as unconfirmed, not a no.
Bank or agency — how to choose
Legal note
Washington's UPA provisions terminate a sperm donor's parental rights when donation occurs through a licensed bank.
