Hobart sits in the foothills of the Cascade Range, about 30 miles southeast of Seattle. Only 40 people live within this tiny community, but the post office maintains 286 PO Boxes. That's 19 boxes for every local household. The reason? This is a PO Box Only Zone, and it serves as the mail hub for rural residents scattered across the surrounding forested terrain.
The Hobart post office functions as a regional service point rather than a local convenience. Residents from unincorporated King County foothills drive here because there's no street delivery available anywhere in the zone. The 86 business delivery points suggest commercial activity well beyond what 40 residents would generate on their own.
Median age here is 60, and every adult holds at least a bachelor's degree. All 15 households are owner-occupied with no renters. These demographics point to established property owners who've chosen rural foothill living over suburban convenience. The area falls within the larger 98038 Maple Valley ZIP for geographic purposes, but Hobart maintains its own postal identity.
Street records show only two named roads: 276th Ave SE handles most deliveries, while Gleadons appears as a secondary address. The limited street infrastructure reinforces why PO Boxes dominate here. For anyone mailing to the Hobart area, using the 98025 ZIP with a PO Box number remains the reliable approach.
Only two streets appear in postal records, with 276th Ave SE handling nearly all addressed mail.
