ZIP Code 98177

In ZIP code 98177, on Seattle's northwestern edge, homes carry a median value of $1,048,900 while households earn a median of $169,918. The county's 0.83% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $8,700 annually on that median home — a figure that consumes a smaller share of income here than in many places, given how high local earnings run. Per-capita income sits at $84,734. Sales taxes, meanwhile, reach 10.50% combined, adding to everyday costs. High home values and steep purchase prices remain the chief obstacle, even where property taxes themselves stay proportionally contained.
