The 10 Most Expensive ZIP Codes In Washington State!

When you really look at it, Washington is like two different states.
East and West of the mountains.

I’m not going to go into which side is better or worse because they each have their pros and cons, but outsiders don’t realize how drastically different we are.

From luscious rainy seasons all the time to a desert with lots of sun, it’s not quite as different as night and day, but dry and wet, definitely!

Talking to my sister-in-law, who lives in Seattle, we were comparing rent for her apartment vs my wife and I and buying our house.

Granted, we have been in our home for 13 years, but the amount she pays for her one-bedroom apartment is more than a monthly house payment.

That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who lives in Washington, but like I said earlier, to outsiders, it can be jaw-dropping.

The cost of living varies from region to region. Where might be poor or middle class in one area might be well off in another.

Thanks to PropertyShark, cramming “residential transaction data” to narrow down the most expensive areas, namely zip codes, in each state.

With Washington, the 10 most expensive lie all in King County!
