We are pleased to present our Spring 2025 edition of the Seattle rennie landscape. Just as it seemed we were beginning to emerge from a difficult period of economic anxiety, new tariff-induced uncertainties have appeared on the horizon. But there is plenty to be optimistic about, and these bright spots are worth holding on to. The labor market continues to show resilience, and a closer examination of our debt levels reveals welcome breathing room. Washington State is also bolstered by a dynamic local job market, and a growing population that continues to drive our region's economy forward.
