The latest foreclosure numbers released Wednesday continue to place Washington state in the middle of the pack, at No. 26 in the nation, according to RealtyTrac.
There was one foreclosure-related filing statewide for every 1,126 households in April, an increase of 36.5 percent from the same month in 2007.
Pierce County came in No. 2 in the state with one foreclosure filing for every 583 households, a year-over-year increase of 105 percent.
Elsewhere, Nevada took the country’s top foreclosure spot with one filing for every 146 households. Vermont was No. 50, with no foreclosure filings. RealtyTrac follows default and auction notices and bank repossessions.
