Washington's Data
Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest, admitted in 1889 as the 42nd state. It’s named after George Washington and often called “Washington State” to distinguish it from Washington, D.C. Olympia is the capital, while Seattle is the largest city and economic center. Washington’s land area is about 66,456 sq mi, and its population is ~7.96 million (2024). The state’s western part features a rainy coastal climate and dense forests (with the Olympic Peninsula being home to temperate rainforests), while east of the Cascade Mountains the climate is much drier, supporting large wheat farms and orchards. Mount Rainier and active volcano Mount St. Helens are notable features. Washington has a highly developed economy with a 2024 GDP around $850 billion. It is home to corporate giants like Microsoft, Amazon (Seattle area) and Boeing (which was founded in Seattle and still has a big presence). Key industries include technology, aerospace manufacturing, biotech, and agriculture – Washington leads the nation in apple production and is a top producer of cherries and hops. The state also has a significant lumber and paper industry historically. With no state income tax, Washington has attracted many businesses and workers. Culturally, Washington is known for its coffee culture (birthplace of Starbucks), grunge music scene of the 1990s (Nirvana, Pearl Jam), and outdoor lifestyle with widespread hiking, skiing, and boating. It also has a strong tradition of environmentalism and progressive politics, particularly in the Seattle area.

Washington's Economy
Washington Inflation
Understanding the BLS and Inflation in Washington
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is a government agency that collects and analyzes economic data across the U.S., including states like Washington. One of its key responsibilities is tracking inflation through the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures how the cost of everyday goods and services changes over time. Inflation can impact everything from housing prices to the cost of groceries, gas, and utilities across the area. By tracking inflation, the BLS helps people from Washington understand how their purchasing power is affected and provides insights for businesses and policymakers.
What This Graph Represents
This graph shows inflation trends in Washington using the CPI, highlighting how prices have changed over time. The x-axis represents time (months and years), while the y-axis represents price levels. If the graph moves upward, it means the cost of living is rising, which can affect everything from rent to gas prices. A flatter or downward trend suggests that inflation is stabilizing or decreasing. Keeping an eye on inflation is important for people from Washington when budgeting for housing, wages, and daily expenses.
