“Poverty rates varied widely across the state of Washington, Romich said in the UW statement. As a whole, the Seattle metro area had a lower poverty rate than the state, but some cities – Everett and Tacoma – face higher poverty rates.”
An excerpt from this Seattle PI piece on how the “job creators” of the state are not creating any kind of that supposed trickle-down – because what did you think, that trickle-down isn’t a fairy tale of the conservative and wealthy? – showing disparate poverty rates across Washington. One interpretation of the data not mentioned: Seattle has a lower poverty rate, whereas the poverty rate in the surrounding area is higher, because rapidly increasing rent prices are driving our poorest citizens outside of the city. Just a thought.
