It took me some time but I found the Washington State regulations concerning CDL requirements. All the state's regulations can be found on this site;
https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/publications/manuals/fulltext/M30-39/CVG.pdf
Is the manufacturer’s weight rating of your trailer 10,001 pounds or more? YES,
- To see if you need a Commercial Driver’s License, follow the shaded area in the chart:
and Is the manufacturer’s weight rating of your combination 26,001 pounds or more?
If so, You need a CDL Class A license
Is the manufacturer’s weight rating of your single vehicle 26,001 pounds or more (includes all buses)? YES, then You need a CDL Class B license
Is your vehicle designed to carry 16 or more persons including the driver? YES, then You need a CDL Class C license
Is your vehicle a public school bus with a GVWR or registered weightunder 26,001 pounds, regardless of passenger capacity? YES, then You need a CDL Class C license
