Final reminder for OP: after you file online, check your account regularly for any messages or requests for additional information. Responding quickly to any ESD requests will keep your claim moving forward smoothly.
Also remember that if your claim gets complicated or you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD about specific issues, services like Claimyr can save you hours of frustration trying to get through on the phone. I wish I had known about it sooner!
The important thing is understanding that quitting doesn't automatically disqualify you, but the burden of proof is on you to show you had good cause. Harassment definitely counts but you need evidence.
I had issues with my claim last year and spent weeks trying to get through to Washington ESD by phone. Finally tried Claimyr and got connected to an agent the same day. Definitely worth considering if you run into problems.
Several people have mentioned Claimyr now. I'll keep that in mind as a backup plan if I can't reach anyone directly.
Good luck with your claim! The initial anxiety is normal but most people get through the process fine. Just stay on top of your weekly claims and job search requirements.

Hope your claim goes through smoothly! Mine took forever but eventually got approved. Just be patient and keep filing those weekly claims.

Welcome to the unemployment club nobody wants to join! But seriously, the system works even though it's frustrating. You'll get through this.
