Manchester sits on the Kitsap Peninsula, facing Puget Sound with views toward Bainbridge Island and Seattle beyond. This small waterfront community operates as a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery available. Everyone picks up mail at the post office.
The Manchester Post Office maintains 492 PO Boxes, yet the Census counts only 25 residents within the ZIP's boundary. That gap tells you something: this isn't a place where many people live. It's a place where many people get their mail. The actual service area extends into surrounding Kitsap County neighborhoods that use Manchester as their mailing address.
All four housing units in the ZIP boundary sit vacant according to the 2020 Census. One is classified as seasonal or recreational use. The 25 residents likely occupy live-aboard vessels, caretaker quarters, or other unconventional arrangements near the waterfront. Median age is 33.5 years.
Street delivery does exist on a limited basis. The ZIP+4 data shows 52 records on Colchester Drive SE with unit designators, suggesting a marina or waterfront complex. A single record exists for Flantina. But for most people using this ZIP, the PO Box is the only option. The post office serves as the mail hub for a community that extends well beyond its tiny footprint.
Colchester Drive SE dominates with 52 ZIP+4 records using UNIT secondary designators, typical of a marina or waterfront complex.
