ZIP 98177 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

King County, Washington's ZIP 98177 registers 30/100 composite distress, which DLRadar reads as moderate. Environmental exposure also runs high (climate & FEMA risk (100/100), flood (NFIP) exposure (95/100), FEMA disaster exposure (74/100)). Its heaviest discrete signals: structural risk (66/100), institutional ownership (60/100), mortgage stress (20/100). By contrast, mortgage stress (20/100) and construction/permit lag (9/100) register low. On the structural side it scores 66/100, with 6/100 of stress already active.

Prices here sit in a peak phase: values held roughly flat over the trailing year, and 7% higher over three years, at 16/100 phase confidence. At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.
