Washington State Ranks 5th Most Expensive in U.S., Study Finds
A new report by the Washington Roundtable and Kinetic West ranks Washington state as the fifth most expensive place to live in the U.S., with costs climbing faster than anywhere else over the past decade. The study highlights the affordability crunch hitting homes across the board, with local leaders pointing to taxes and regulations as big drivers. Every one of Washingtons twelve metro areas ranks in the top twenty-five percent of priciest nationwide, with Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue fifth out of three hundred eighty-six. The state leads in dining out costs, sits second for gas, and fifth for child care. Calls grow for policy tweaks to ease the burden and keep folks from heading elsewhere.
