Average salary in Washington nears $100,000 a year
Salaries in Washington continued to climb in 2024.
The statewide average annual wage reached $95,160 last year, according to the Washington Employment Security Department. That’s 6.8% higher than in 2023, when the average was $89,138.
The increase was driven by a 0.7% boost in employment and a 7.5% hike in total wages and salaries, which grew by nearly $23.5 billion in 2024, the department reported.
Statewide, the average weekly wage rose from $1,714 in 2023 to $1,830 in 2024, according to figures in a department press release.

I wonder what the median is? That might be a better gauge.
