What's going on in Washington State?
Housing supply is going absolutely vertical.
And just broke 29,000 listings in August 2026.
That's up 128% in the last three years. And the highest level for August back to 2017.
Homeowners are fleeing Washington State in droves, and tech layoffs are surging.
The locals who want to stay are priced out of the market, with the typical home costing $591,000.
This is a nasty combination for home values, which are already declining.
Washington ranks our biggest 'downward forecast' state in 2027.

Good piece by @annaedge4 on all the things going wrong for Seattle’s housing market. I’d add H-1B clampdown as another factor we’re hearing a lot lately. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

I spoke with Microsoft's Brad Smith about taxes, the tech economy and what it all means for innovation (and affordability) in Washington State.

The city of Seattle is pretty small. Fewer than 150,000 voters have the power to pick Seattle's next mayor, setting the tone for region of 4.5 million people. Looks like Katie Wilson has convinced enough people that she has what it takes.

Finding progressive revenue in Seattle, without the option of an income tax, requires some creativity. And that's a big part of Katie Wilson's pitch to be the city's next mayor.

"But when Copilot pops up on Jominy’s computer screen, it’s typically an accident — the result of a mistaken push of what used to be a control key."
I've been diving into Microsoft's Copilot recently. (The personal companion, not to be confused of the workplace app with of the same name…)
