Using the interactive regional economic tools of analysis at your disposal on this website, we invite you to conduct your own research to examine and assess changing economic conditions and trends of counties or regions within Washington. WA-REAP features data and regional economic tools of analysis that apply to the 39 Washington counties and Washington's 13 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). To further enhance the investigation of the Washington economy in a regional policy and planning context, these website resources additionally assemble the data and introduce tools of analysis for conducting research on Washington's 12 Workforce Development Areas.   Washington's 12 Workforce Development Areas (WDAs) are classified in association with Washington's 12 Workforce Development Councils (WDCs). Tasked with implementing the federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998, Workforce Development Councils provide workforce development, strategic planning, and nurture coordination between education, training and employment efforts in their communities. Additionally, the data and analysis are organized to demarcate eastern from western Washington, and metropolitan from nonmetropolitan areas. WA-REAP fosters analysis of regional and interregional economic transformations and dynamics to support the advance of economic planning and policy development statewide.
