Our Local Economy



The Washington State economy is the fastest growing in the US according to Business Insider Washington state scored extremely well on most of our metrics. Its Q2 2015 annualized GDP growth rate was a stunning 8.0%, by far the highest among the states and DC. The November 2015 average weekly wage of$1,073 was the second highest in the country, and was 5.6% higher than the weekly wage in November 2014, the third highest wage growth rate.”

There are many voices of Cassandra predicting doom and gloom especially in an Presidential election year.   The reality is that we are still the richest country in the history of the world and getting richer.   Unfortunately income inequality is leaving many people behind while insanely greedy others fight to increase their share of already incomprehensible wealth preying on racial, religious and medical FUD.


I am grateful for a growing economy that provides opportunities for all.
