The biggest industries in Seattle
Seattle’s economy is a confluence of older Industrial technologies and contemporary internet, health science, and clean energy technologies. The city's gross domestic product (GDP) was $355.7 billion in 2018, making it the 11th largest metropolitan economy in the United States. Furthermore, Seattle is ranked as the fastest-growing major metro in the nation and experienced a 6.9% growth rate between 2017 and 2018 alone.
Clean Energies
Seattle began experimenting with renewable energy sources over a hundred years ago with the city’s first hydroelectric project, the Cedar Falls hydroelectric plant, in 1905. Today, about 90% of Seattle’s electricity is produced using renewable hydropower, and less than 2% of its electricity comes from the burning of fossil fuels. Seattle is a national leader in the continued use of hydrological power, and its domestic influence will only continue to grow after the recent passing of Washington’s clean energy bill, which will ensure the entire state’s electricity is derived from 100% renewable sources by 2025.
Life Sciences
Seattle is a global life sciences hub and is home to numerous high-profile institutions, including the Allen Institute for Brain Science, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the Infectious Disease Research Institute, and the Institute for Systems Biology. Seattle’s life sciences sector is only projected to grow from this point forward as recent trends indicate life science employment jumped 17.4% in Seattle from 2014 to 2017.
Aerospace
The Aerospace industry is a huge driving factor in Seattle’s economy. Multinational aircraft manufacturer Boeing has a massive local presence, including the Boeing Everett Factory located only a half-hour drive from downtown Seattle and the headquarters of their commercial airplanes division located in nearby Renton. Additionally, about a 15-minute drive from downtown Seattle, the city of SeaTac is home to the headquarters of both Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air as well as the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport which is owned and operated by the Port of Seattle.
Technology
Seattle is one of the early pioneers in the technology boom and continues to be a global leader in technological development. Many of the world’s largest and most influential tech companies are headquartered in the Seattle area, including Amazon, Microsoft, T Mobile, Expedia, Nintendo of America, and many more. Even among the aforementioned industry giants, Seattle’s technology continues to innovate, and new branches within the technology field (biotech, for instance) are carving out their own niche in the city’s bustling economy.
