Conconully sits in north-central Washington's Okanogan County, where 280 year-round residents occupy a 178-square-mile territory. With a median age of 58.5 years, this is one of Washington's oldest communities by population, pointing to its character as a retirement and vacation destination. The area's 278 housing units include 115 used seasonally (41%), showing how summer residents more than double the winter population.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. No street delivery exists across the entire 178-square-mile territory. The Conconully post office maintains 152 PO Boxes for 160 occupied households, a 95% adoption rate that captures nearly the entire permanent population. Two rural carrier routes serve the scattered properties along roads like West Broadway, West Fork Road, and Sinlahekin Road, but all mail goes through PO Boxes.
Conconully's isolation is both geographic and demographic. With just 280 residents spread across such vast terrain, the post office functions as the primary community gathering point. People drive from properties miles away to collect mail, prescriptions, and packages. The median household income of $38,295 and median home value of $216,100 are modest, but 76% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, indicating long-term residents who chose this remote location deliberately.
The town has minimal commercial infrastructure. Only 4 business establishments employ just 5 people. Most working residents commute elsewhere (22% work from home, 33% work in transportation). Street names like Peacock Meadows Lane and Ironcap Road point to the rugged, forested landscape that defines the area. This isn't a place people stumble into. It's where people go to escape.
All mail must be addressed to a PO Box:
