   MEMORANDUM

Plaintiff-Appellant Elva Garcia appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment dismissing her claim for failure to accommodate her disability under Revised Code of Washington § 49.60.180. Because the parties are familiar with the facts and procedural history, we do not restate them except as necessary to explain our decision. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

1. To give proper notice of an' injury requiring an accommodation, the plaintiff must either show that the condition substantially limited her, or produce medical documentation that working without an accommodation would aggravate the impairment until it became substantially limiting. Wash. Rev.Code § 49.60.040(7)(d); Johnson v. Chevron U.S.A., Inc., 159 Wash.App. 18, 244 P.3d 438, 444 (2010). Although Garcia injured her wrist in August 2011, she told Cintas that she was pain-free in early November 2011, if not later, and thus she was not substantially limited by her condition at that time. Moreover, she produced no medical documentation that her condition would be aggravated by working in the First Sort position. Accordingly, her prior injury in August 2011 and her statement in mid-November that she could only do the First Sort position for about two weeks did not provide sufficient notice of any disability requiring accommodation in late November or early December 2011.

Garcia’s deposition testimony and declaration are also insufficient to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Cintas had a duty to accommodate Garcia’s wrist condition in November 2011. Her deposition testimony is ambiguous and inconsistent as to when and what she told her supervisor about her wrist. Construed in the light most favorable to Garcia, her testimony and later-filed declaration indicate that Garcia may have generally complained of pain and asked whether Cintas had found someone to replace her at First Sort, neither of which is sufficient to provide notice of a need for accommodation. See Hume v. Am. Disposal Co., 124 Wash.2d 656, 880 P.2d 988, 996 (1994). Moreover, there is no indication that Garcia missed any work due to her wrist condition, or that her ability to complete her job assignments was compromised until January 2012. Id. Every other piece of evidence, including her own statements to her doctor and to a state agency, shows that she did not notify Cintas that she had a substantially limiting condition until the end of December 2011 or the beginning of January 2012. No duty to accommodate arose until January 3, 2012, when Garcia informed Cintas she could no longer work at the First Sort position due to her wrist condition.

2. An employee is not entitled to her preferred accommodation, and an employer is not required to provide a medically unnecessary accommodation. Hill v. BCTI Income Fund-I, 144 Wash.2d 172, 23 P.3d 440, 452-53 (2001), overruled on other grounds by McClarty v. Totem Elec., 157 Wash.2d 214, 137 P.3d 844 (2006); Pulcino v. Fed. Express Corp., 141 Wash.2d 629, 9 P.3d 787, 795 (2000), overruled on other grounds by McClarty, 157 Wash.2d 214, 137 P.3d 844. Although the parties agree that Cintas had proper notice of the need to accommodate Garcia’s wrist condition in January 2012, Garcia does not dispute that she was physically capable of working on the First Sort position with one hand without aggravating her wrist. Moreover, she refused to attempt Cintas’ proposed accommodations and became hostile in response to the proposals. The district court did not err in determining that Cintas provided a reasonable accommodation.

AFFIRMED.
