Q2 2024 Expanded Puget Sound Industrial Market Report

INDUSTRIAL MARKET OVERVIEW

This report covers the primary developed areas of Snohomish through Thurston County. Industrial markets in the Pacific NW are adjusting to new parameters but remaining steady. Vacancy rates are hovering around 6% in the 4-county region. Leasing activity slowed in the first quarter but started picking up as we progress through the second quarter. New construction is active with permitted projects, but the regional project pipeline is diminishing, not due to demand, but due to high land price expectation, stabilized rental rates and continued high costs of new construction. We think this trend will continue well into 2025 leaving Developers and Land Sellers frustrated. Regionally, large land parcels are difficult to find or assemble, leaving Developers looking at infill assemblages, land use changes or full site redevelopment. IOS specialized properties are slowing in demand from Tenants. Finally, we are seeing the small owner user facilities for sale or lease, and the demand from this user group level off.
