Here's the map for an entire country and you can zoom in to each county in Washington state or you can download either an excel spreadsheet or PDF version of the file. 

The conforming loan limit as established by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) is reviewed each year and adjusted as necessary to reflect the change in the average U.S. home price. The new limit represents an increase of 6.9% over the $453,100 limit in 2018. Higher loan limits will vary by state and county. However, it cannot exceed the new ceiling limit of $726,525 for one-unit properties. 

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the VA are expected to adopt the same loan limits for 2019.
