How we got these numbers.
- Asking rents, not signed leases. Apartments listed on Apartments.com and Zillow collected Sep 7–Oct 17, 2026. Move-in specials aren't taken off.
- Each apartment counts once, even when both sites list it. Base rents from $300 to $15,000 a month.
- Figures are medians: half the listings ask more, half ask less. The rent map shows averages, which run a little higher.
- Every figure comes from two or more buildings, and no building is named. A bedroom count with fewer than 10 listings says “not enough listings”.
- Market-rate apartment listings only: whole houses, furnished units, income-restricted units whose listing says so (MFTE and other affordable-housing programs) and rents we found while researching a renter's lease are left out.
- Neighborhoods and districts are the City of Seattle's Neighborhood Map Atlas boundaries.
- Updated every two weeks, when new listings are gathered; the month in the title is the month of the update date above. The full method.
