ZIP Code 98626

In ZIP code 98626, near Ryderwood, households bring in a median of $75,528 a year, while per-capita income sits at $37,364. A home priced at the median $368,900 would draw county property taxes at an 0.82% effective rate, and purchases carry an 8.10% combined sales tax. That sales rate takes a bite out of everyday spending, so day-to-day costs add up faster here than the property tax bill might imply. With earnings spread across the area's households, buyers weighing a move should factor both the purchase price and the ongoing sales tax into their plans.
