Hi!

Still contemplating a move to Seattle. I work PRN in acute care here in Houston. What is the going PRN rate? In Houston its 46-48/hour. Are OT's in demand? Hard to get a job there?
Thanks for any feedback!

One way to remove the "subjective" from the subject...and address the deafening cacophony of nothing in-response to the question so far...I entered "occupational therapist" to US BLS dot gov site. They have their own analysis page for OT, which is good (more data = better). Knowing nothing about OT, but plenty about finding information, I found it an interesting resource to learn more. Whoever does the user interface and user experience (UI/UX) for the BLS sites must come from private industry: far more efficient that I'd expect from government (in a good way).

Data-dumps from that site: occupational outlook for every major and some minor metro area in the United States. May want to snag that ("Data Tools"), and pivot in Excel (or other favorite spreadsheet) on salary, growth, and other characteristics for this area in-particular.

Used with a compare-contrast on cost-of-living between the two areas...will probably get you well on the way to a go/no-go decision.

The above should answer the "demand" question non-subjectively, ditto salary. Interesting, based on what you've provided, that there is only a 5% range in pay, low to high, for similar in Houston. If true everywhere the above analysis should go very quickly.

Alternate: Glassdoor and other similar sites will at-least provide salary info. More data=better.
