Census County Business Patterns counts 6,586 manufacturing establishments with 264,782 employees in Washington (2023). The two federal counts differ because they define an establishment and its coverage differently.

LQ is the location quotient: the state's share of jobs in the industry divided by the U.S. share. BLS withholds some subsectors, counties and metros to protect confidentiality; those are left out of the lists above. Compare every state.
