They asked my salary range, what should I say?

A recruiter asked for my salary expectations on a first call as I look for work as a machine operator. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I looked up ranges in Spokane and they vary a lot. What did you say?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Asking about the range for the role first worked for me. Some recruiters share it.
