The week ahead: October 5–9
What’s coming on seattletrendlines.com the week of October 5–9 — 10 posts, two a day, every weekday.
Monday, October 5 — King County for-sale inventory, September 2026; Sea-Tac against normal, September 2026.
Tuesday, October 6 — King County asking prices, September 2026; What King County sellers listed, September 2026.
Wednesday, October 7 — How long a King County listing sits, September 2026; King County homes under contract, September 2026.
Thursday, October 8 — Seattle’s labor force, August 2026; Seattle-metro unemployment, August 2026.
Friday, October 9 — Washington jobless claims, week of Sep 26, 2026 (pending — its numbers haven’t landed yet); Link light rail ridership, August 2026.
This is the plan, not a promise. Every weekday post here is tied to a data release, and a release that slips takes its post with it — the post simply waits for the day its numbers land. A figure that arrives early, a revision worth writing about, or an unexpected story out of Seattle can just as easily add a post that isn’t on this list. Expect the week to look roughly like this, and expect at least one day of it not to.
