Seattle construction project managers typically earn between $125k, $160k base for mid-to-senior roles, with broader market data showing averages around $126k, $131k and ranges extending from roughly $116k to $178k depending on experience and specialization.

A few factors move the needle: roles requiring 3+ years of PM experience, critical environment credentials (data centers, labs, hospitals), or MEP exposure in ground-up work tend to land at the higher end. Compensation also reflects the complexity you're managing, scope, budget, schedule, risk, and stakeholder leadership all factor in.

If you're a PM in the Seattle market, we'd recommend discussing your specific background (certifications, project types, team size managed) with a recruiter, those details often unlock placements in the $130k, $180k+ range.
