Economic Impact Study

The film industry does not just entertain, it also employs. Film productions not only create local jobs, but they also generate a tax base and promote a positive image of the city that in turn stimulates tourism and gives back to the city. Seattle understands the importance of the film in our city and will continue to support and develop this growing industry.

Seattle film productions in 2022 employed an overall total of 4,275 locals, contributing millions to our city's economy. Seattle is home to hundreds of freelance and technical specialists in all aspects of the film industry.
