JOHN VARGA
John H. Varga joined Pacific Tax West Seattle in September of 2025. He is an attorney (licensed in Washington) who previously practiced estate planning, probate/estate administration, and property law. At the beginning of 2020, he transitioned to contracts management, and worked for Google in support of its marketing department. More recently, John worked with federal contracts for an architecture/engineering design firm on projects for renovation and construction on VA medical campuses.
John moved to the Puget Sound Region during his childhood and is a graduate of the UW and Seattle University. He served eight years in the United States Army Reserve. During his enlistment, he completed a year-long Thai language course and also deployed to Afghanistan. Beyond the office, he enjoys his time with family and friends, cooking, being outside, and keeping up with the local sports teams. He lives in Seattle with his spouse and their two children.
Before his current position at Pacific Tax West Seattle, John was himself a client for several years. He joined the team out of his affinity for Kurt, an interest in tax law, and a desire to return to work that serves individuals and their families. (After this current tax season, John will be available to provide legal services.)

She is excited to align her professional path with Pacific Tax West Seattle’s standards and become more involved in her local community.
