Story summary

According to real estate data from Redfin, Seattle has a higher share of residents wanting to move out of state compared to any other major U.S. metro area. Per capita, over twice as many people in Seattle are planning to leave Washington State than those in the second-ranked city, San Jose, California. While New York City has more individuals overall looking to relocate—about 2,000 more than Seattle—it also houses nearly 7.8 million more residents. This trend suggests that left-wing policies may be driving people out of Democrat-controlled cities like Seattle.
