Summary of General Findings • Washington’s population is expected to reach 7 million by the end of 2014. • After 2015, migration is expected to serve as the main contributor to state population growth. • The 65 or older population is expected to double its size in twenty years. • By 2030, more than one of every five Washingtonians will be an elderly person. • The share of the population of working age will decline relative to the “dependent” population.
