425r
For some Washingtonians, there is a perception that a 425r is living a different life than the rest of the state. I heard someone in Olympia say, "Why can't a 425r just put on a hoody like everyone else when it rains? Do you really need a 'waterproof yet breathable' $200 soft shell to go to the store?"
425r refers to someone from the 425 area code of Washington, an area code covering North and East of Seattle; stretching from Everett, through Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, and Maple Valley.
There is a marked income difference. For example, the median household income for Tacoma is about $38,000, Shelton $32,000, Centralia $30,000.
Bellevue, a 425 city, is about $76,000.
For the breakdown, see the Washington State Office of Financial Management's summary of income by counties.
