NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.
The highest SNAP participation rates, exceeding 25–30%, concentrate in Tacoma and its immediate surroundings, particularly in zip codes just south of the city center and near Lakewood, while a secondary cluster of elevated usage appears in south Seattle and parts of the Kent-Renton corridor. The Eastside communities of Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond consistently register among the lowest rates in the metro, generally below 5%, creating a stark east-west disparity across Lake Washington. Peripheral zip codes to the far northwest and southwest of the metro also show moderately high SNAP reliance in the 15–20% range, suggesting that distance from major employment centers correlates with greater food assistance need.
