Snohomish County, WA., has had the biggest personal income gains in the US, percentage wise in the last five years followed by King County, WA., coming in at #9 according to the Snohomish County Business Journal. (TPI is defined as the income received by all people from all sources in a given year.)This should be an indication of greater things to come? Snohomish County also had the highest number of new construction starts in the first quarter, I'm not too sure the economist I've listened to may just be a tad bit off with regards to when we will actually see a full recovery. With these and other US Major counties seeing upward increases in income this has to be moving in the right direction for everyone.
