ZIP Code 98943

Cle Elum's 98943 sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $66,750 and per-capita income of $37,569. Homes here carry a median value of $374,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.71% translates to a comparatively gentle annual bill on that value. Sales tax, though, runs 8.30% on purchases. The gap between household and per-capita income hints at a mix of earners, and the housing prices outpace what many local paychecks would comfortably cover, suggesting some buyers are newcomers or second-home owners rather than long-term wage earners.
