Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.
Strong fit if you want public-service geoscience data work in Thurston County for State of Washington, with Natural Resource Scientist 3-level independence. Weak fit if you need remote work, private-sector exploration bonuses, or a large commercial R&D lab culture.
As a Subsurface Data Geoscientist (Natural Resource Scientist 3) for the State of Washington in Tumwater, a typical day centers on subsurface datasets: QC of well/geologic logs, spatial joins, and documentation for resource or environmental decisions. You would coordinate with scientists and IT on data standards, run analyses or maps for agency questions, and write clear technical notes for public-sector review—not field-only work unless assigned.
No. The listing marks remote as 0; expect work tied to Tumwater / Thurston County state operations.
State of Washington (wa.gov)—a public employer, not a private energy company.

Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is often referred to as Washington state to distinguish it from the national capital; both are named after George Washington, a U.S. Founding Father and the first U.S. president. Washington borders the Pacific Ocean to the west, Oregon to the south, and Idaho to the east; it shares an international border with the Canadian province of British Columbia to the north. Olympia is the state capital, and the state's most populous city is Seattle.
