Yo dawg, I herd you like maps, so I put a map in your blog so you can map while you price.

In a big surprise to nobody, the most expensive zip code in the area is downtown Seattle’s 98101, with a whopping $482 median price per square foot. Of course, that actually looks cheap compared to the pricing on new construction condos downtown, but I digress.

Here are the top ten most-expensive zip codes in King / Snohomish / Pierce, by median price of home sales over the last three months:

Zip ‘Hood / City Sales Med. $/SqFt
98101 Downtown Seattle 83 $482
98039 Medina 19 $429
98121 Belltown 59 $376
98004 Bellevue 240 $353
98102 Capitol Hill 72 $317
98112 Madison Park 117 $315
98109 East Queen Anne / SLU 120 $299
98104 Pioneer Square / First Hill / International District 25 $287
98119 West Queen Anne 108 $283
98107 Ballard 101 $275

And here are the top ten least-expensive zip codes in King / Snohomish / Pierce, by median price of home sales over the last three months:

Zip ‘Hood / City Sales Med. $/SqFt
98409 South Tacoma 73 $67
98408 South End (Tacoma) 84 $75
98444 Parkland 60 $80
98404 Eastside (Tacoma) 141 $82
98360 Orting 57 $85
98405 Central Tacoma 73 $86
98418 Lincoln (Tacoma) 36 $86
98168 Riverton / Seatac 106 $88
98201 Everett 84 $90
98424 Fife 22 $90

Okay that was almost all Tacoma. How about the ten least-expensive zip codes in King County:

Zip ‘Hood / City Sales Med. $/SqFt
98168 Riverton / Seatac 106 $88
98188 Seatac 59 $92
98003 Central Federal Way 115 $94
98002 Auburn 94 $98
98198 Des Moines 116 $98
98023 West Federal Way 163 $99
98032 West Kent 75 $106
98022 Enumclaw 68 $107
98030 East Kent 115 $107
98047 Pacific 38 $108

South King County with the sweep.
