Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest, about 750,000 people, at the center of a metro of 4 million that runs from Everett to Tacoma and across Lake Washington to the Eastside. ZIP codes 981 cover the city and 980 the suburbs of King and Snohomish Counties. The city itself is a mix of single-family neighborhoods (Ballard, West Seattle, Green Lake, Magnolia, the north end) on dense residential routes and apartment districts (Capitol Hill, Belltown, South Lake Union, the University District); the Eastside, from Bellevue through Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish and Issaquah, is single-family with some of the highest home values in the country.
Seattle businesses mail because the region's households are affluent, home-owning and hard to reach digitally. Real estate agents farm the Eastside and the north end; home services companies (roofing, gutters, moss treatment, windows, heat pumps) mail homeowner lists in a climate that is hard on houses; restaurants mail EDDM; dental and medical groups mail the suburbs; and the technology and e-commerce companies headquartered here run automated mail and retargeting nationally.

The city and the Eastside
North Seattle, Ballard, West Seattle and Magnolia are dense single-family routes where EDDM works and agents farm. Capitol Hill, Belltown and the U District are apartment markets for targeted lists. Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah and Mercer Island are farmed from homeowner lists by value and mailed by remodelers and home services companies. Shoreline, Renton, Kent and Federal Way to the south mail as suburbs; Tacoma and Pierce County are a market of their own that mails with Seattle when needed.
Seasons and delivery
Roofing and gutter offers mail in September before the rains, moss treatment in February, landscaping in March, and heat pump and air conditioning offers in May, a growing category as summers warm. Mail for the region is processed at the Seattle facility, and Marketing Mail entered there typically reaches local mailboxes in three to five business days.
