The week ahead: September 14–18
What’s coming on seattletrendlines.com the week of September 14–18 — 13 posts on the calendar.
Monday, September 14 — Sounder commuter rail, July 2026; Washington State Ferries ridership, July 2026.
Tuesday, September 15 — Seattle’s crime rate, July 2026; Seattle’s crimes against society, July 2026.
Wednesday, September 16 — Washington business applications, August 2026; How educated King County is, 2024 (pending — its numbers haven’t landed yet); Seattle gas prices, August 2026.
Thursday, September 17 — Working from home in King County, 2024 (pending — its numbers haven’t landed yet); Seattle inflation against the country, August 2026; Seattle gas in today’s dollars, August 2026.
Friday, September 18 — Buy or rent: the Seattle ratio, July 2026 (pending — its numbers haven’t landed yet); King County’s changing population, 2024 (pending — its numbers haven’t landed yet); Seattle asking rents, July 2026 (pending — its numbers haven’t landed yet).
This is the plan, not a promise. Every weekday post here is tied to a data release, and a release that slips takes its post with it — the post simply waits for the day its numbers land. A figure that arrives early, a revision worth writing about, or an unexpected story out of Seattle can just as easily add a post that isn’t on this list. Expect the week to look roughly like this, and expect at least one day of it not to.
