Is Washington State really seeing more foreclosures? Yes, but not like the national trends. Actually we have seen a very slight increase ( See Chart Below) due the strong economy in Washington State and Washington did not experience the unhealthy appreciation in the last few years. For example- Washington State is experiencing 1 in every 1,476 housesholds going into foreclosure-compared to Nevada 1 in every 278 or Florida 1 in every 382 or Arizona 1 in every 703. So, once again Washington State is not following the national trend!!

The chart below depicts the number of foreclosures in Washington State for the past few years.
