Cleared for the RARYO at or above 3;000 feet with straight in RNAV 34L approach. Traffic reported by ATC and we reported traffic in sight to ATC. After sequencing RARYO in descent traffic in-sight was near our track and ATC advised and asked if we would like to continue. With traffic in sight and not in conflict; visually continued straight in to Runway 34L. Traffic encroached our path and initiated an RA. Autopilot was disconnected and flew manually to climb 200 to 300 feet; then followed by a level off. Report of RA was made to ATC. ATC asked if we were able to continue with the Visual Approach. Decision was made to continue with the Visual Approach with traffic in sight and being non-issue with associated traffic. Tower cleared us to land and landed 34L. Selection of TA in the MCDU versus TA/RA while on final approach with traffic in sight.
Air carrier Captain reported an RA for an unidentified VFR aircraft while on an RNAV Approach to PAE airport.
