Seattle tech industry registers a strong growth in tech job offers. On average, in 2020, more than 900 jobs/month were offered to professionals in the IT industry in different subsectors. In 2024, the tech industry in Seattle offered more than 193,000 jobs in this field. This means that after the healthcare industry, tech opportunities are the second-fastest-growing economic branch in the city. 

The annual salary of a tech worker in Seattle was estimated in 2025 to range between $60,000 - $104,000 USD, according to Glassdoor. 

On the other hand, the city is overwhelmed with IT companies and faces two challenges that have a huge role in the industry’s future. 

• First, Seattle has a shortage of skilled professionals in the IT industry, and the local authorities try to deal with this issue by promoting and facilitating access to women in the IT industry. 
• The second issue is gender balance, where female workers have a lower priority in IT companies, according to Bizjournals. In 2025, this problem persists, with only 30% of tech jobs filled by women in 2024, and it may take 15 years to achieve gender balance in this industry. 

These two issues are actually a solution to each other, and if implemented correctly, could boost Seattle's tech capacities and improve the city’s position in the gender balance index. 

The number of IT companies from Seattle has also experienced a strong growth in the last years, reaching in 2024 the number of 13,000+, which is a good industry indicator, showing the capacities and the capabilities of Seattle to move forward and take the regional leading position. In 2023, the tech sector in Seattle contributed to the local economy with $134 billion, which increased the Gross Regional Product of $148.9 billion in 2024. 

For companies that intend to cooperate with tech & web agencies, Seattle is a good place to find a fit partner in digital projects, no matter the subsector. The 13000+ IT companies provide an entire range of services and enjoy a consolidated reputation based on numerous works for both SMEs and commercial giants.
