South Colby is a small waterfront community on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State. The post office operates as a point location within ZIP 98366 (Port Orchard), serving residents who live near the Southworth ferry terminal. All mail delivery here requires a PO Box. There's no street delivery option anywhere in this zone.
The post office maintains 334 PO Boxes and serves 56 local businesses. It's a compact operation. Only one street appears in postal records: SE Southworth Drive, which runs near the ferry landing that connects to Vashon Island and, via Vashon, to West Seattle.
Because this ZIP doesn't have its own Census boundary, population statistics aren't available. The zero-population figure in databases reflects the lack of a ZIP Code Tabulation Area, not an empty community. People do live here. They pick up their mail at the South Colby post office, board the ferry for Seattle-area jobs, and return to wooded lots overlooking the water.
Nearby communities include Vashon (2.3 miles by water) and neighborhoods on Bainbridge Island's south shore, about 3.6 miles away. This corner of Kitsap County feels rural despite its proximity to Seattle. The ferry makes the difference: a 35-minute boat ride puts commuters in downtown Seattle, making South Colby a quiet bedroom community with an urban connection.
The single street name reflects the community's identity as a ferry terminal location.
