Seattle by the numbers
Seattle has grown to 784,777 residents, up 6.5% since 2020 (Census estimates).
King County has 55 musical groups and artists with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023). That is 0.23 for every 10,000 residents, above the national figure of 0.17. 84% of them employ fewer than 10 people. The count is up 6% from 52 in 2018.
The Census only counts acts with a payroll, so most bands, which have none, are not in this figure.
King County as a whole has 2,344,939 residents, up 3.3% since 2020. King County has one musical group or artist for every 42,640 residents.

What Seattle's weather means for bands
Long sleeves and hoodies belong in the core order for Seattle shows rather than a winter add-on, since 7 months a year average a high below 65°F. Even on summer dates, a few long sleeves help at late outdoor sets once the evening cools. About 30 nights a year reach freezing or below, so a handful of beanies per winter date is an easy add-on at the table. The rainiest month is November, at about 5.8 inches; keep cartons off the ground and under cover at any outdoor date then.
