This source says it is closer to $95k? https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/seattle-median-income-soars-to-93500-but-wealth-doesnt-reach-everyone-census-data-shows/ https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/seattle-media...
- Pfhreak 7y agoI took the national median per capita income. Looking at King County's per capita median income puts it closer to $46k.
