Washington Rent Report
Washington's rental market is dominated by Seattle and its surrounding suburbs, where rents average $1,900 to $2,800 per month driven by Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and a dense ecosystem of tech employers. Bellevue has emerged as a premium market in its own right, with rents approaching Seattle levels as tech firms have expanded eastside campuses. Spokane and the eastern part of the state offer a dramatically different and more affordable rental landscape anchored by healthcare, education, and agriculture.
