ZIP Code 98154

Households in Seattle's 98154 ZIP code face a combined sales tax of 10.55%, among the higher rates you'll encounter, which trims spending power on everyday purchases from groceries to dining out. Property taxes run at 0.83% of assessed value at the county level, so a home valued at $800,000 would carry roughly $6,640 in annual taxes. Together these rates shape how far a paycheck stretches: earners here contend with steep consumption taxes on top of Washington's lack of a state income tax, making housing and retail costs the dominant budget pressures.
