Washington residents can once again access the state’s test portal online to order COVID-19 rapid tests at no cost that will be shipped to their home.
This round — which is the third time the portal has opened — will have 1.45 million tests available, serving 290,000 households.
Order an at-home test kit (up to five tests) online here while supplies last.
On Jan. 21, the state opened the portal for the first time with 1.4 million tests available for order. Within eight hours, all tests had been claimed, and approximately 340,000 households received tests. In the second round, 130,000 households were served.
Tests should arrive within a few days of the order being placed. When more supplies become available, the state will reopen the portal again.
Free COVID-19 tests now available for all US households
Free at-home COVID tests are also available through the federal program here. Additionally, at-home tests can be purchased at some local retailers and pharmacies. If you have health insurance, most insurers will now cover or pay you back for up to eight at-home tests per month.
