# Create a company with a Seattle, WA address

Learn how to create a company in AvaTax with a Seattle, WA address.

Before you begin

Avalara products help ensure you have access to your AvaTax Sandbox environment and the confirmation email from Avalara.

About this task

Use the AvaTax Sandbox environment to create a company with a Seattle, WA address. This process includes specifying company details, entering an address, and validating it.

Steps

1.  Sign in to your AvaTax [Sandbox](https://sandbox.admin.avalara.com/) environment.
    1.  Check your email for the confirmation that you received from Avalara when you signed up for your account.
    2.  Sign in to your account using the username and link in your confirmation email.
    3.  Follow the prompts to create a new password.
