The Seattle job market is alive with new opportunities as summer 2025 ramps up, with a wave of employment postings across nearly every sector. Just this past week, Indeed lists over 35,000 jobs available within the city, reflecting a dynamic and broad demand for workers. Positions span from logistics roles such as warehouse workers and package handlers at major employers like UPS, to specialized openings for roles like certified occupational therapy assistants, board-certified behavior analysts, and associate dentists. Administrative and customer service jobs continue to surge, with many employers seeking judicial administrative assistants, human resources coordinators, and guest advocates for retail and hospitality settings. Even traditionally hard-to-fill roles such as transfer station operators and evidence specialists with King County have seen renewed hiring activity.
The surge is not limited to any single industry. According to Spreaker, Seattle’s tech sector remains a powerhouse, but there is also a notable uptick in customer service, administrative support, and healthcare positions. Remote work remains robust, with many Seattle-based and nationwide employers listing flexible, work-from-home options for jobs like online tutoring, administrative support, and tech roles—taking advantage of the city’s strong remote infrastructure. Nonprofits such as Solid Ground are increasing recruitment for youth job training programs, community outreach, and entry-level project support, providing pathways into meaningful careers for those seeking change or their first jobs.
Employers large and small are refreshing candidate pools, especially for seasonal roles driven by the summer travel and cruise ship season. Hospitality, tourism, and transportation companies are recruiting for customer service, logistics, and event staff to handle the influx of visitors. Competition is fierce, so listeners are encouraged to tailor applications, update skills, and leverage local job placement resources and networking opportunities for the best results.
Major in-person job fairs are also underway. The 25th Annual Diversity Employment Day Career Fair is scheduled for July 31 at the Seattle Center Armory, where hundreds of jobs across many major employers—including the U.S. Postal Service, iHeartMedia Seattle, and Fred Hutch Cancer Center—will be available for those ready to meet recruiters face-to-face. This event underscores the city’s commitment to inclusive hiring and community growth.
The overall picture is clear: Seattle is brimming with job opportunities for listeners at every career stage. Whether seeking stability in established sectors, flexibility in remote work, or a chance to give back through nonprofit initiatives, Seattle’s employment landscape is as diverse as its population and as lively as its summer streets.
