Blackberries are self-fertile just like raspberries. So, you do not need to plant more than one cultivar.

See this fact sheet from Washington State University for helpful information about growing blackberries:
Growing Small Fruit for the Home Garden

Keep in mind that the blackberry cultivars recommended for Washington state may or may not be hardy and/or available in your area.
