If you know that the format is exactly like that, you can
simply do:

if ('85004',) in zip_code_list:
    print "Found!"

..but maybe that's not what you intended? If '85004' might
just be in an arbitrary position in a sequence of tuples with
more columns than the zip codes, you could for instance do:

if '85004' in str(zip_code_list):
    print "Found!"
