Current and historical trends for rents, vacancies, rent projections, concessions, parking charges, and other information for various age and size groups of property, detailed for each of over 60 neighborhoods in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Kitsap, and Thurston counties. The report is based on our semiannual survey of 20-unit and larger apartment properties.
In addition to the printed report, subscribers can create their own custom online reports. These custom reports let users see general rent and vacancy trends by neighborhood over the past 25 years, or detailed rent, vacancy, concession, and other trends over the past 10 years based on your selection of neighborhood, property age ranges, and property size ranges. Users can also create custom rent comparables reports.

Note: First time subscribers usually do not get a full year of online access. That's due to the timing of our publication dates. However, timely renewals do get a full year of online access.
