These are the 12 creators with 10,000 to 100,000 followers and the highest engagement rates on the list. The median across all 35 creators in that range is 1.77%, and 4 of these 12 reach at least twice that.

How we built this list

  1. We started from 39,669 individual Instagram creators with at least 1,000 followers and 6 measured posts, read by Virev's crawler between August 18 and October 7, 2026. Brands, media pages and businesses are not on the list.
  2. A creator is on this page when their Instagram bio or display name names Seattle, such as a city, a region or a flag, and the country in their Virev profile does not name another country. We removed accounts that name the place only inside another account's handle, an email address, or a team or event name, such as a baseball club or a marathon.
  3. The engagement rate is average likes plus comments on the 6 to 12 most recent feed posts, divided by followers at the read.
  4. Median Reel views is the median play count of the creator's last 12 Reels, and it shows n/a when fewer than 3 Reels had a play count. 37 of the 74 creators have one.
  5. These 74 creators were read between August 21, 2026 and October 6, 2026, and follower counts move after that, so check the live profile before you send an offer.
  6. The page shows public profile numbers only, with no emails or phone numbers.
