After you file
"I don't know all the particulars of this, but my company is global and across the US. I know my company had to do something on their end to have the company established in WA or something"
It's not clear to me if you are subject to the convenience of the employer rule or not. Here are some documents that discuss the issue.

In particular,
Note: Under this rule, days worked at home are considered New York work days only if the employee’s assigned or primary work location is at an established office or other bona fide place of business of the employer (hereinafter, a bona fide employer office) in New York State.
I don't want to over-think the situation or alarm you needlessly, but I don't know your situation. Just because the main corporate office is in New York, doesn't mean your assigned place of work is in New York. It was easier to figure out in the days before there was so much remote working. If you worked for Kodak (a NYS employer) but you were assigned to a distribution center in WA, then your work location is in WA, and you only owe NY tax on wages earned for any days you lived or worked in NY. If you are an in-house graphic designer for Kodak products, and your assigned location is their corporate headquarters (or you have no assigned location but other people in the product development department work at the HQ), then you are working in WA for your own convenience and all your wages are subject to NY tax.
Only you know the circumstances of your work, and can make a determination. If you aren't sure, we would need more details of what you actually do for the company and why you moved.
If you are subject to the convenience rule, then you file a part-year NY resident return for 2023, reporting all your world-wide income up to the time you moved out, and you report all your wages from that employer as a non-resident for the rest of the year. But income not connected to NY (other jobs, investment income, etc.) is not taxed by NY (and WA has no income tax, of course.)
If you are not subject to the convenience rule, then you file a part-year NY resident return for all your world-wide income up to the day you move out of state, and you add any income earned in NY for the rest of the year as a non-resident (but this would only be income earned on days that you physically worked in NY's borders.). If your W-2 does not split the income correctly, you can manually assign a different income split in turbotax.
