ZIP Code 98251

With a median household income of $83,891 and per-capita income of $38,314, ZIP code 98251 sits in middle-income territory near Everett. Homes here carry a median value of $448,900, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.77% means owners pay a comparatively contained share of that value each year. Sales tax, though, reaches 9.10% on purchases, a noticeable add-on for everyday spending. Together these figures sketch a place where earnings trail the price of housing but the property tax structure keeps ownership from tipping into a heavier annual obligation.
