International trade drives Washington's economy. The state is the fifth largest exporter in the country and has consistently had one of the highest "export per capita" and "exports as a percentage of state GDP" ratios among all states. Washington's vibrant business community, extensive logistics network, and diverse population have provided the state with a solid foundation to take advantage of today's global economy.
