ZIP Code 98555

With a per-capita income of $55,077 and a median home value of $462,500, ZIP code 98555 sits in affluent territory. The area, centered on Allyn, carries a county-level effective property tax rate of 0.73 percent, which works out to a comparatively contained levy on those higher-value homes. Sales tax, at 8.60 percent combined, adds a steady cost to everyday purchases. Households here earn well above what many parts of Washington bring in, and the housing stock reflects that strength. The tax structure leans on consumption and property alike, though the lower rate keeps annual ownership costs from climbing too steeply.
