ZIP Code 98258

In ZIP code 98258, near Everett, households bring in a median of $123,898 a year, while per-capita income sits at $50,096. A median home value of $653,100 taxed at the county's 0.77% rate works out to a property tax bill that stays within reach of those earnings. Day-to-day purchases carry a combined sales tax of 9.30%, which trims spending power gradually rather than all at once. Together these figures sketch a place where solid incomes meet high home prices and a moderate tax load, so the main squeeze comes from housing costs rather than from taxes themselves.
