Washington link building across the Cascades — Seattle is not Spokane

Puget Sound is Seattle–Bellevue tech, Tacoma port and aerospace, and Olympia as capital. East of the Cascades, Spokane is Inland Northwest healthcare. Those are different newsrooms. We do not currently list a Washington city daily.

DESK NOTE · WA

How agencies should brief Washington

Seattle tech vs regional WA local news — tag the metro on the waybill.

Metros we tag on the waybill: Seattle metro. White-label fulfillment — your brand on the file, RankSupply desk behind it. No ranking or ROI promises.

Puget Sound and Inland Northwest

Aerospace and tech on the west; healthcare east of the Cascades

A Washington brief has to say which side of the mountains the listing sits on. Seattle and Bellevue are SaaS and professional services. Tacoma adds port and aerospace-adjacent demand. Spokane is a different healthcare economy.

RankSupply does not currently list a named Washington city daily. We fulfill with Puget Sound-targeted or Inland Northwest-targeted titles, plus industry hosts. We will not decorate a Seattle GBP with an out-of-state campus paper, and we will not ship one statewide leftover for all four metros.

SEA

Eastside and Seattle are one sound

Bellevue tech is tagged with Seattle when the client covers that side. Spokane still stays off the order.

Tacoma

Port and aerospace

South Sound logistics and aerospace-adjacent listings are a third pocket, not a Seattle suburb we add automatically.

GEG

Inland Northwest healthcare

Spokane clinics and regional services need east-side news. Puget Sound tech blogs are the wrong mountain range.

OLY

Capital is a fourth tag

Olympia government-adjacent services are not Seattle leftovers.

WA metros

Washington metros we actually separate

Worked example

A Spokane clinic that did not inherit a Puget Sound leftover

WAYBILL · WA-GEGGEO: Spokane, WAINLAND

An agency ran a Spokane healthcare listing. Seattle technology blogs never appeared in Inland Northwest search.

The mix
Spokane-targeted regional titles and one healthcare host. Puget Sound inventory stayed on the Seattle tag.
What we refused
A statewide Washington pack, and any out-of-state campus title used as decoration.
Reporting
White-label, tagged Spokane. Terms labeled per URL.
RESULT
The agency resells an Inland Northwest stack, not a Cascades-average leftover.
Representative scenario. Not a named client. Not a ranking or traffic claim.
Questions

Washington link building FAQ

Do you have a Seattle daily on the sheet?

Not a named Washington daily in the current local-news inventory. Seattle briefs use titles that actually cover Seattle.

Is Spokane the same campaign as Seattle?

No. Spokane is Inland Northwest healthcare and regional services. Seattle–Bellevue is Puget Sound tech. We tag them separately.

Where does Tacoma sit?

South Sound — port, logistics, and aerospace-adjacent listings. A third Washington pocket, not a Seattle leftover.

Will you assign an Oregon campus paper to Washington?

No. Campus titles that cover Eugene stay on Oregon briefs.
