2027 Launch

The Legal Landscape in Washington

Washington state operates a hybrid model — gig workers can retain independent contractor status while accessing certain state benefits. It's actually a forward-thinking framework that aligns with our mission. But it requires specific operational setup before launch.

YoZombie workers choose every gig they accept. They set their own availability. They use their own tools. They work for multiple clients. That’s the definition of an independent contractor — and it holds up under Washington’s framework. We just need to properly document it.

We’re targeting Washington for 2027. Join the waitlist — you’ll hear from us when we’re ready.

Common Questions About YoZombie in Washington

When is YoZombie coming to Washington?

YoZombie is targeting Washington for 2027. The state's worker classification framework requires more legal groundwork than our 2026 launch states, but our model holds up under scrutiny. We're doing the work now so we can launch clean. Join the waitlist at yozombie.com/states/washington to be notified first.

How does YoZombie work for businesses in Washington?

Why is Washington launching in 2027 and not 2026?

Washington uses a worker classification framework that requires more legal documentation and setup than our 2026 easy states. Our independent contractor model is sound here — workers genuinely control their own schedule and tools — but we're taking the time to properly validate and document everything before launch. Getting it right is more important than getting there fast.
