Washington rates sit on Puget Sound civil, ports, and Eastern Washington energy work. Prevailing wage in King County is not the same as a Tri-Cities T&M job. These USD figures are public charge-out ranges, not employee pay. Electrician charge-out in this book is a journeyman T&M hour, fully loaded. Service truck, materials, and apprentice ratios are separate lines. Confirm against the project agreement. In Washington, a electrician typically bills $115 /hr (range $100 to $130, as of 2026-08). For a check against nearby markets, Oregon sits at $110 /hr, and British Columbia sits at $130 /hr. These are public benchmarks. Your billable number lives on a SubTrack rate sheet.
