ZIP Code 98019

Households in ZIP code 98019, near Seattle, earn a median of $161,212, and per-capita income reaches $66,661 — figures that place the area well into affluent territory. Median home values of $826,600 reflect that standing, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.83% translates into a substantial annual bill on such a home. Sales tax adds another layer at 9.20% on purchases. High earnings here support high housing costs and the taxes tied to them, so the overall load skews steep even though the property rate itself sits below some parts of the region.
