Zillow Observed Rent Index for the Seattle metro, dollars per month, 2015 to June 2026, at $2,271.

The typical asking rent in the Seattle metro was $2,271 a month in June 2026, up 1.4% from a year earlier. ZORI tracks new leases, not the average rent paid across all tenants, so it turns roughly a year before the rent component of the local CPI does — which makes it the leading indicator of the two. Nominal dollars.
