Washington seasons and vinyl siding
Season matters for vinyl siding. For each Washington metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Seattle has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Washington at 12 months; Kennewick has the shortest at 8 (February through June and September through November). Rainfall runs from 8 inches a year in Kennewick to 57 inches in Bremerton.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.

What carpenters and the other trades earn in Washington
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 1.26 for Washington.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $35.67 an hour, which is 22% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $29.15 and $44.55 an hour. BLS counts 26,960 of them working in the state, 75.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $27.75 an hour, 22% above the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $22.56 and $34.69 an hour. About 25,060 work in the state. That is 70.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.

BLS counts 3,440 of them working in the state, 9.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($44.55 an hour) would add about $1,550 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($29.15) would take off about $1,150. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 3,550,970 jobs across Washington (May 2025), which is 2.3% of US employment.
