ZIP Code 98250

Households in the 98250 ZIP code, near Blakely Island, bring in a median income of $88,556, while per-capita income reaches $69,176. With a median home value of $801,200, property taxes at the county's 0.53% rate would run about $4,246 a year, a figure that stays contained against those earnings. Day-to-day purchases carry an 8.65% combined sales tax, so spending steadily adds up over time. The gap between income and home prices here means owners likely devote a meaningful share of earnings to housing, though the low property tax rate eases that load somewhat.
