Confirming the address

The share of land says how likely an address is to fall in each part, not which part it is in.

  1. Use the address where the work is done.A local minimum wage covers work performed inside that city or county. The employer's office or your home address does not decide it.
  2. Do not go by the city in the mailing address.The place name on a letter is the post office's name for the delivery area. It can differ from the city whose limits the building sits in.
  3. Look the parcel up.The county assessor's parcel record, or the city's own boundary map, shows which city, if any, the address is in.
  4. Open that jurisdiction's page.It lists the full set of rates, special rules and sources. Outside Seattle and Tukwila, the Washington rules apply.

About ZIP boundaries

Shares of land come from the Census Bureau's 2020 ZCTA relationship files, which match ZIP Code Tabulation Areas to places and counties. A ZIP code is a mail route, not a legal boundary, so confirm the exact address on the jurisdiction's page.
