Washington is home to 807 published IT service providers in the current directory, a figure that places the state within a national total of 43,995 firms tracked across all 50 states. That national footprint spans 778 metro areas, and Washington's own provider base is concentrated in a handful of cities, with Seattle, Bellevue, Spokane, Redmond and Vancouver standing out as the state's top locations for IT services.
Of the 807 Washington-based providers, 366 carry a Google rating, which is a meaningful share of the state total. The median rating among those rated firms is 5.00, matching the median rating of 5.00 recorded nationally among the 19,906 rated providers out of 43,995 total listings. This suggests that rated firms in Washington are performing in line with the broader national pattern rather than diverging from it.
Size is another area where Washington tracks closely with national figures but still shows its own character. The median employee count for Washington providers is 9.5, slightly above the national median of 9 employees. This points to a provider base that, on balance, runs small teams typical of the IT services sector, with Washington's typical firm size edging just past the national midpoint.
Geographically, the concentration of Washington's top cities tells its own story. Seattle leads the list, followed by Bellevue, Spokane, Redmond and Vancouver. These five cities capture the bulk of where the state's 807 providers are headquartered, reflecting how IT services work tends to cluster around the state's larger metro centers rather than spreading evenly across every town and county.
Placing Washington's numbers against the national backdrop helps frame what the state represents within the larger directory. The top states by provider count nationally are California, Texas, Florida, New York and Virginia. Washington does not appear among that leading group, but its 807 providers still represent a meaningful presence within a directory that spans all 50 states and 778 metros. The state's rating and size metrics, both close to or slightly above national medians, indicate a provider base that is neither unusually small nor unusually large compared to the rest of the country.
The broader dataset also includes other measures that help contextualize the scale of this directory, even where they do not apply directly to Washington. Nationally, 348 providers list pricing information, a small fraction of the 43,995 total, which signals that pricing transparency remains uncommon across the IT services sector as a whole. Separately, the dataset recorded 12,324 signals over a recent 30 day window, a measure of activity across the full national provider base.
Taken together, the picture for Washington is one of a solidly populated state within a nationally distributed directory. With 807 providers, a median rating of 5.00 among rated firms, and a median employee count of 9.5, the state's IT services sector presents characteristics that align closely with national norms while maintaining its own geographic concentration in Seattle, Bellevue, Spokane, Redmond and Vancouver. These figures offer a snapshot of how Washington's IT services landscape compares to the 43,995 providers tracked across all 50 states and 778 metro areas nationwide, without suggesting any particular trajectory or outcome for the state's provider community going forward.
