Seattle area vacancy rates?

[sniglet]

Does anyone know where there is data showing the Seattle area vacancy rates over time? I have seen a number of articles pointing out that the percentage of homes for sale that are sitting vacant are at all time highs, but I don't know if this is true for our region specifically. What percentage of the homes for sale in King county are vacant, and how does this compare with prior trends?
