The Seattle area is now in the top 10 largest regional economies in the US

Well folks it looks like Seattle is starting off the week with some good news. It turns out that our region now has the 10th largest regional economy. And thanks to our booming tech industry we have to say we’re not too surprised. So let’s get into the details.

The regional area covers Seattle, Everett, Tacoma, Redmond, and Bellevue. And our region has a gross domestic product of $383 billion which is pretty crazy when you think about it. Not to mention, our economy grew by 5.1% from 2018 to 2019. So thanks to those stats, our region has hopped back on the list of largest regional economies since it fell off in 2012.
