Start a pest map of the Seattle–Tacoma–Bellevue metro and King County is one of its pieces: 2,116 square miles where the metro's climate lands on this county's own mix of subdivisions, older streets and open ground.
Read King County's pest list off its geography: long wet winters and heavy moisture that drive ants, rodents and decay pests toward structures, and the result is a calendar dominated by carpenter and moisture ants, carpenter ants and house mice.
On the map, King County is 2,116 square miles of Washington — the 11th largest county in the state by land area on Census figures — with its centre near 47.49° N, 121.83° W. The Seattle–Tacoma–Bellevue metro counts 3 counties, and providers serve this one from that metro under Washington licensing.
Geography puts King County about 5 miles southeast of Seattle, and that position inside the metro matters more than it might seem. At 36% of the metro's total county land area, King County is a mid-sized county for this metro — and pest work here follows the settlement pattern: the closer a property sits to the metro's wooded and watered edges, the more its pressure resembles the countryside's; the closer to the core, the more it resembles the city's. Providers read the address before they read the pest, because in King County the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.
