I am having mental health issues, and my doctor recommended to switch to part time for few weeks. Does anyone know whether WA PFML cover this leave as intermittent leave, or do I need to be fully out of work to be eligible for PFML.

yes, it counts. but you still need a doctor to sign off. you might have a hard time if you haven't had an inpatient stay or something serious like that going on. you can't just be like "I'm depressed and i don't feel like going to work for two weeks" and get FMLA. but if you feel like you really need it, get the paperwork and talk to your doc.
