There are a few other starting rates for Librarian I, adult or youth services, positions at other similar library system in the NW. As you can see, KCLS has the highest, but I don't know exactly what the reason is. I think they're pretty well funded, and it's possible they have a strong union, though I don't know that for sure. Anyone in WA know any better?
