Need governor's office contact number to escalate my ESD adjudication issue

The Governor's Office contact number is 360-902-4111. You can also use their online contact form at governor.wa.gov/contact. However, I've found a more effective approach is to contact your local state representative or senator first. They have staff specifically for constituent services who can often get quick responses from ESD. Look up your district rep at leg.wa.gov and explain your situation to them.

i tried calling the govs office last year and got nowhere. just an intern taking messages. complete waste of time imo

Before you contact the governor's office (which honestly probably won't help much), have you tried using Claimyr? It's a service that helps you get through to an actual ESD agent without waiting forever. I was in adjudication for 5 weeks and was getting desperate, then I found them at claimyr.com and got through to ESD in about 20 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. Once I actually talked to someone, they resolved my issue that same day.

The Governor's office number wont help you AT ALL!!! They just take your info and say someone will call back. NOBODY EVER DOES!! My sister waited 12 WEEKS in adjudication and lost her car because of it!!

I had the same problem last month and what finally worked was emailing my state senator. Their office contacted ESD directly and my claim was magically fixed within 3 days. The email address should be on leg.wa.gov - just find your district first. Good luck!

Just to clarify a few things about escalating to the Governor's office: they don't directly intervene in individual ESD claims, but they can route your concern to the appropriate ESD liaison. For an adjudication issue, you should include your claim ID, the date you filed, and specific details about your situation in any communication. More effective options include: 1. Working with your state representative or senator 2. Filing a formal appeal if you've received any determination 3. Contacting the ESD Office of Constituent Affairs at 855-682-0394 4. Using the Unemployment Law Project for free assistance if you're facing a disqualification In my experience working with clients, the state representative route typically gets the fastest response.

Just wanted to follow up - did you have any luck getting through? If the state rep route or governor's office doesn't work out quickly enough, seriously consider the Claimyr option I mentioned. When I used it, I spoke to an actual ESD agent who could see my claim and fix the issue immediately, which was way better than waiting for someone to call me back.
