This tiny 0.22 square mile area sits in rural western Washington. The 83 residents here occupy a cluster of streets around Main Street, which contains most of the area's 16 commercial establishments employing 112 people. Conway isn't a destination. It's a service point.
Two rural carrier routes (Route R) serve the actual street addresses in 98238, along with one general delivery route. But seven PO Box routes handle the bulk of the facility's operation. The post office processes mail for customers from communities like Lake Ketchum's Wilderness Ridge (3 miles away), Trillium Park near Marysville (4.5 miles), and other developments that lack their own delivery infrastructure.
The 163 actual PO Box count reflects regional necessity, not local preference. Skagit County's rural development pattern created pockets of housing without USPS carrier service. Conway's centrally-located post office became the solution. Customers from multiple ZIP codes list 98238 as their mailing address while living elsewhere. The median age of 54.6 years suggests established households that have maintained these boxes for decades.
Conway's street layout reflects a compact rural service center with traditional town streets (Main, 2nd, Broadway) intersecting with agricultural roads like Dike Road that reference the area's Skagit Valley farming heritage.
ZIP Code 98238 has 83 residents and 32 households (average 2.59 persons per household).

The gender split is 48.2% male and 51.8% female, which is slightly lower than the state male share (49.9%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are White (75.9%, much higher than the state average of 66.6% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (21.7%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 21.7%, which is much higher than the state average (13.7%), and Other / Two or More Races share is much higher than the state average (6.7%).
