Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in Seattle, WA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Seattle compares. Among the 80 largest places in Washington, Seattle is #1 by population, #76 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #8 for college degrees (#1 = most), #8 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, King County, is #1 of 39 counties for average pay ($132,279).
Seattle has 754,195 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 9.6% of the population of Washington. It covers 84 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 8,979 people per square mile. The median age is 35.6, 7% younger than the state median (35.6 against 38.3).
The median gross rent is $2,030 a month (rent plus utilities), 15% above the state median ($2,030 against $1,760). Over a year that is 19.7% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $938,600, which is 7.6 times the median household income ($123,860); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 43.7% of households own their home, 31% below the state average (43.7% against 63.8%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metropolitan area has 2,086,210 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $72,610 a year, 42% above the national median ($72,610 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (212,900 jobs, median $59,660); business and financial operations (201,160 jobs, median $101,950); computer and mathematical (194,970 jobs, median $156,000). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (2.8 times) and architecture and engineering (1.4 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($168,110) and computer and mathematical ($156,000). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of King County was 4.8%. 74.0% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in King County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 36.6% drive alone, 11.9% use public transit, 8.1% walk, 34.8% work from home. 13.9% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 18% below the state average (13.9% against 16.9%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
68.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 73% above the state share (68.5% against 39.6%). 20.1% of residents were born outside the United States, 31% above the state share (20.1% against 15.4%). The poverty rate is 9.9%, about the same as the state rate (9.9% against 9.9%).
The warmest month is Aug, averaging 65°F (18.3°C), and the coolest is Dec at 39°F (3.8°C). About 1,230 mm (48 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Nov is the wettest month (188 mm) and Jul the driest (19 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Mercer Island (7 miles, rent 23% higher); Bainbridge Island (7 miles, rent 8% higher); Kirkland (9 miles, rent 18% higher); Bellevue (9 miles, rent 27% higher). Rent differences are against Seattle; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
