The short answer
Spokane’s ZIP Codes (99201–99205, 99207, 99208, 99217, 99218, 99223, 99224) hold 208 carrier routes and 127,894 residential deliveries; the ZIP Codes that serve Spokane Valley add 76 routes and 58,351 homes; the Tri-Cities (Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, West Richland) have 173 routes and 107,622 homes. These are the delivery counts in the same route map we price your mailing from.
A ZIP Code is a Post Office delivery area, not a city limit, so these tables are by ZIP Code. That is also the unit USPS counts the EDDM Retail limit in: 5,000 pieces per ZIP Code per day. “Deliveries” are residential, business and residential PO-box addresses the carriers serve; a residential-only mailing skips the business column. The last column is how many Retail drop days it takes to cover the whole ZIP if you mailed every delivery.
