Washington Massage Schools & Requirements

Washington boats a varied terrain and plenty of recreation, making it an ideal place for students to attend massage therapy school. Part of the state boasts snow-capped mountains, while the other has plains and valleys that produce delicious apples and wine. Meanwhile, the rugged coastline offers beautiful views of the surrounding area and a peaceful atmosphere in which to relax. When not studying massage therapy, students can explore Olympic National Park, Grand Coulee Dam, or the Seattle Space Needle. The eclectic city of Seattle would make a great day trip, with its delicious coffee shops, art galleries and shops that sell local goods.
