Rivian pre-owned vehicles have been listed for sale at three locations in Washington state, according to the Rivian Roamer platform, less than two weeks after the company said it had secured a dealer license there.
The platform showed five vehicles under a Washington filter on Wednesday, three in Seattle, one in Bothell and one in Fife. The EV maker has service centers in all three cities.
The listings could not be checked against Rivian’s own online shop, and the company has not announced pre-owned sales in the state.
Rivian’s support page on where pre-owned vehicles can be bought lists 16 states and does not include Washington.
The listings were first reported by Rivian owner and X user Chris Hilbert.
Five Vehicles, From $47,700
The five vehicles are four R1S SUVs and one R1T pickup, from the 2022 to 2025 model years.
Prices range from $47,700 for a 2022 R1T Quad Large in Seattle with 57,624 miles to $66,900 for a 2024 R1S Quad Large in Bothell with 27,304 miles.
The Fife listing is a 2025 R1S Dual Standard at $64,500, the only second-generation vehicle of the five.
Washington accounts for five of 144 pre-owned configurations the tracker showed across the US on Wednesday.
Rivian Roamer says it draws on Rivian’s shop listings, but it is a third-party site and its data shows where a vehicle is located, not who is able to buy it.
From Ban to License
The listings follow a change in Washington law that ended Tesla‘s position as the only brand allowed to sell directly to consumers in the state.
Senate Bill 6354 was signed on March 24 and took effect on June 11.
It allows a manufacturer to operate a dealership if it is incorporated in the US, has never entered a franchise agreement with a dealer, operated at least one service facility in Washington as of January 1, 2026, and exclusively produces battery-electric vehicles, of which at least 300 were registered in the state before that date.
Those conditions cover Rivian and Lucid, which said in March it had been cleared for direct sales in the state.
The statute describes the permitted sales as new vehicles of the manufacturer’s own makes, and does not address used vehicles.
Rivian said on September 25 that it had secured a motor vehicle dealer license in Washington, after employees gathered in Seattle on September 15 to mark it.
“Securing this license is a testament to the grit and relentless commitment of our team,” Gary Gaines, Rivian’s Vice President of Sales, said at the time.
The company did not say when the license was issued, or when in-state sales, test drives and deliveries would begin.
Before the law changed, Washington buyers had to order online or travel out of state, and staff at Rivian’s Seattle showroom could not discuss pricing or take orders.
Rivian had pressed for the change for years, and contributed about $4.8 million in cash and in-kind support to a ballot initiative before the legislature acted.
The Pre-Owned Programme
Rivian began selling pre-owned vehicles directly in September 2024, starting in California and Illinois.
The vehicles come with a seven-day or 500-mile return policy and pass an inspection before listing, the company said at launch.
The programme has since expanded to 16 states, according to the support page.
Buyers who do not live in one of those states “may be able to travel out-of-state to pick up” a vehicle, the page says.
Residents of Maryland and Nebraska cannot buy a pre-owned Rivian at all, in or out of state, according to the same page.
Retail Footprint
Rivian has five locations in Washington, a showroom at Seattle’s University Village and service centers in Bellevue, Bothell, Fife and Seattle.
A sixth is planned in Issaquah, at a former Ford dealership of about 32,000 square feet.
That lease begins on January 1 and the site is due to open to customers in early spring 2027.
