About

Economic forecasts, for the greater Seattle area.

Consider us your research center, providing you answers in easy to understand language and charts. Established in 1993, The Puget Sound Economic Forecaster is a quarterly newsletter published by the Center for Economic and Business Research at Western Washington University. The newsletter and website are designed for business executives, marketing directors, investors, government managers, and researchers who need a professional and objective view on the economic prospects for the Puget Sound region (King County, Kitsap County, Pierce County, and Snohomish County). Our goal is to provide accurate and well-reasoned forecasts for the region as well as clear and insightful observations on important developments in the economy. With the addition of our podcast we are adding a new level of insights and discussion.
