Washington census tracts list: Opportunity Zones by county

Every Washington census tract that is either on the OZ 2.0 eligibility list (394 tracts, IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-14 appendix) or inside a current (2018) Opportunity Zone, grouped by county. The CDFI Fund's designated list has 139 Washington tracts (132 low-income, 7 contiguous), numbered by the 2010 census. GEOIDs here are 2020-census tracts, so we matched the 2018 zones to 2020 tracts with the Census relationship file: they cover 157 2020 tracts fully and 8 partly (165 in this table). "Partly" means only part of the 2020 tract was in a 2018 zone (how we match). The Nominated column uses the state's published OZ 2.0 list.

Eligible is not designated. The governor can nominate up to 99 of these tracts (the 25% cap). The federal nomination window closed September 28, 2026 (New Jersey is using the extension to October 28), and certified OZ 2.0 designations take effect January 1, 2027. See which states have filed on the OZ 2.0 nomination tracker, check exact boundaries on the eligible-tract map, and read how to plan an OZ investment for January 2027.
