Bow and Edison share a ZIP code, 98232, along with the unincorporated crossroads of Blanchard — all three sit close together on the Samish flats north of Burlington. Guemes Island has no settlement of its own on this list but carries its own ZIP, 98221, shared with Anacortes, since the Guemes Island ferry departs from that city.<\/p>\n
