The Washington State Electrical Contractors Association (WSECA) has been protecting small independent electrical contractors in Washington State since its founding in 1975. WSECA is the organization that preserved the right of independent electrical contractors in Washington to train new electricians in-house for many years, pushing back against special-interest groups attempting to mandate apprenticeship as a once-size-fits-all training path. Despite a recent setback in 2018 when WSECA membership had dwindled to a low point, the association is on a new footing and once again poised to become a powerful ally for its members and all independent electrical contractors in Washington State.

Mission Statement

WSECA is dedicated to protecting, promoting, and strengthening the voice of independent electrical contractors throughout Washington State. We advocate for fair and practical policies, support flexible and accessible options for in-house workforce development, and empower contractors to grow and thrive through education, representation, and collaboration.

Vision

WSECA envisions a strong, unified network of independent electrical contractors who are empowered to train their workforce, influence industry policy, and grow successful businesses across Washington State. With a surge in demand for electrical construction services due to technological advances such as artificial intelligence, electrified transportation, electrification of building equipment and industrial processes, and development of distributed renewable energy and battery storage, the future for electrical contractors has never been brighter. WSECA will support a growing electrical industry that raises all boats with fair and reasonable regulations, and expose the special interests that are trying to pass laws that advantage their members at the expense of small and independent businesses and the communities they serve.

We’re committed to our mission, but we must have YOUR HELP to win. We need electrical contractors from across Washington State who will participate in WSECA, contact their legislators, and help WSECA achieve its vision.
