Non-Disclosure Agreements in Washington
Washington enforces NDAs under general contract law and has adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Confidentiality restrictions must be reasonable in scope and duration to be enforceable.
Washington restricts non-compete agreements below a statutory income threshold, so employers should ensure any restrictive provisions bundled with confidentiality obligations comply with this protection.
