Mako’s declared normalized Washington layer contains 6,372 canonical venue records. Seattle leads the named-city layer, followed by Spokane, Vancouver, Tacoma and Bellevue. Five class-based formats contain 1,330 records. The selective public-plan overlay contains no Washington rows. The layer is complete for the declared dataset, not a census of every current physical venue.
The Washington total includes every canonical record assigned to the state in the Mako compile-v13 normalized search universe. Each record contributes once to the state total and once to one of 14 primary reporting categories.
“Mapped” describes the closed analytical dataset. It does not mean an official body has confirmed that all 6,372 records are open, publicly accessible physical venues, or that every operating Washington venue is present. The source layer uses selective lead, directory, official, brand and other evidence families with different freshness and verification depth; the pricing overlay is selective as well.
The United States parent report applies the same identity and category rules across every US jurisdiction. The North American report explains why a complete normalized search universe remains distinct from an official NAICS establishment count or a current physical-market census.
Gyms and health clubs account for almost two in five Washington records. Martial arts schools rank second. Yoga and dance/movement studios are nearly equal in count, followed by Pilates/reformer/barre and aquatic facilities.
| Normalized category | Washington records | Share of 6,372 |
|---|---|---|
| Gym / Health Club | 2,477 | 38.87% |
| Martial Arts / Combat School | 1,015 | 15.93% |
| Yoga Studio | 599 | 9.40% |
| Dance / Movement Studio | 592 | 9.29% |
| Pilates / Reformer / Barre Studio | 305 | 4.79% |
| Aquatic / Swim Facility | 270 | 4.24% |
| CrossFit / Strength Gym | 241 | 3.78% |
| Multipurpose Recreation / Sports Center | 211 | 3.31% |
| Specialist Fitness Facility | 193 | 3.03% |
| Boutique HIIT / Functional Fitness Studio | 158 | 2.48% |
| Gymnastics / Cheer / Tumbling Facility | 138 | 2.17% |
| Personal / Small-Group Training | 137 | 2.15% |
| Indoor Cycling Studio | 27 | 0.42% |
| Climbing / Bouldering Facility | 9 | 0.14% |
| Total | 6,372 | 100.00% |
Yoga, Pilates/reformer/barre, CrossFit/strength, boutique HIIT/functional fitness and indoor cycling form the five-format class-based core used throughout this series. Their 1,330 Washington records represent 20.87% of the state layer.
That operating definition does not capture every class offered inside a mixed-format venue. Compile-v13 assigns one primary category per record, so a gym with yoga or cycling programming remains counted only in Gym / Health Club. Category share describes record assignment, not the total availability of each activity.
The table also does not measure members, revenue, floor area, class capacity or visits. One large multipurpose venue and one small studio each contribute a single canonical record.
Seattle has the largest named-city count, followed by Spokane, Vancouver, Tacoma and Bellevue. The city table uses 6,291 records with a populated city field; 81 Washington records have no named city and are excluded from the share denominator. These are named-city record counts, not density, revenue or market-share rankings.
| Named city | Venue records | Share of 6,291 named-city records |
|---|---|---|
| Seattle | 1,013 | 16.10% |
| Spokane | 286 | 4.55% |
| Vancouver | 259 | 4.12% |
| Tacoma | 233 | 3.70% |
| Bellevue | 228 | 3.62% |
| Redmond | 153 | 2.43% |
| Bellingham | 152 | 2.42% |
| Kirkland | 120 | 1.91% |
| Everett | 114 | 1.81% |
| Olympia | 114 | 1.81% |
The ten cities contain 2,672 records, or 42.47% of the named-city layer. That is a distribution of standardized city fields, not a density, revenue, or market-share claim.
Seattle city records cannot be divided by a Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metropolitan population. Vancouver also requires careful geographic labeling because this table refers to Vancouver, Washington, not Vancouver, British Columbia.
Any density study should first assign every venue to official metropolitan statistical areas and then use one dated population vintage from the U.S. Census Bureau’s state and local population program. This report makes no city-density claim.
Washington has high street, city, postal, website, phone and coordinate coverage. Public generic email is much narrower, and workflow flags require a separate interpretation.
| Public or workflow field | Washington records with field | Coverage of 6,372 |
|---|---|---|
| Review-row flag | 6,372 | 100.00% |
| Evidence URL | 6,372 | 100.00% |
| Coordinates | 6,369 | 99.95% |
| Street address | 6,247 | 98.04% |
| City | 6,291 | 98.73% |
| Postal code | 6,175 | 96.91% |
| Public phone | 5,777 | 90.66% |
| Public website | 5,689 | 89.28% |
| Verified-row flag | 919 | 14.42% |
| Public generic email | 195 | 3.06% |
Every Washington record retains an evidence URL, but evidence can document discovery rather than current first-party verification. High address or coordinate coverage does not establish open-now status or public access.
The fact that every row carries a review flag does not mean every row is false, closed or unusable. The flag reflects source limitations and unresolved workflow questions. Verified and review can coexist: 919 records carry a verified-row flag even though all 6,372 carry review. The two fields are not mutually exclusive quality buckets.
The public-plan table contains no rows whose canonical venue joins to Washington. This is a precise statement about the selective overlay included in compile-v13.
It is not evidence that Washington venues publish no prices, offer no memberships or have no drop-in products. A missing state layer can arise because a pricing source family did not cover that geography or because pricing extraction was not performed for those records.
Accordingly, this report publishes no Washington price average, median, range or named offer. It also does not substitute prices from another state. The correct result is not observed in the current overlay, not zero.
The fitness studio pricing report separates venue coverage from plan-row coverage and keeps missing values distinct from explicit zero-price offers. A future Washington pricing study would need dated first-party collection, a declared venue frame, currency and cadence normalization, and consistent treatment of fees and commitment terms.
Verified and review flags answer different workflow questions. A record may contain a verified element while still requiring review for open-now status, public access, category fit, address quality or physical-location qualification.
Treating the flags as opposite sides of one score would erase that distinction. In Washington, all records retain review status because the source layer does not close every question needed for a current physical-market census. The 919 verified flags identify narrower confirmations within that broader limitation.
For aggregate category and city counts, the closed normalized universe is the declared denominator. For a named venue, current offer, operating-status statement or brand comparison, a fresh first-party check is required at publication time.
Washington operators can use the map to understand the structure of the normalized landscape. The five class-based formats account for 20.87% of the state layer, while Seattle contains 16.10% of named-city records. Those measures help identify where a category-specific or trade-area study could begin.
The map also shows why local context matters. Seattle, Spokane, Vancouver and Tacoma are distinct operating environments, and a city-record count does not adjust for population, commuting patterns, travel time or venue capacity. Direct competition should be defined through a consistent local geography rather than a statewide rank alone.
High website and phone coverage make the dataset useful for discovery. However, universal review status and absent public-plan coverage mean named-company and pricing claims need new first-party evidence. The workbook should guide research priorities, not replace that evidence.
Finally, venue presence does not measure retention. The gym-management software guide covers operating-system choices, while Mako Pulse uses customer-level attendance and membership data to surface descriptive retention signals for operator review.
The normalized Mako Washington layer contains 6,372 canonical venue records. It is complete for the declared compile-v13 dataset, not an official census of every currently operating physical venue in Washington.
Seattle has 1,013 named-city records, Spokane 286, Vancouver 259, Tacoma 233 and Bellevue 228. These are city-record counts using a 6,291-row denominator, not metropolitan density rankings.
Gym / Health Club leads with 2,477 records, followed by Martial Arts / Combat School with 1,015, Yoga Studio with 599 and Dance / Movement Studio with 592.
The source workflow preserves unresolved questions across the Washington layer. Review does not mean false or closed, and it can coexist with a verified flag; 919 Washington rows carry both workflow signals.
Compile-v13 contains no Washington-linked public-plan rows. That is an overlay-coverage gap, not evidence that Washington venues have no prices, and this report therefore publishes no statewide price benchmark.
It is complete only for the closed normalized Mako search universe. No official agency or independent audit has proven that it contains every operating physical venue in Washington.
A Washington map can show where normalized categories and public records concentrate. It cannot show which members inside one venue have stopped attending on their normal cadence.
Mako Pulse surfaces descriptive, rules-based retention signals for operator review. Open Pulse for free to examine that customer-level layer.
