Observer not responding to <paper-input> in Polymer 2.x

I want to trigger an observer by entering text into a <paper-input> field.

When entering text into the zip code field, I expect to see the entered text logged to the console. Instead, I do not see anything in the console.

What am I doing wrong?

Here is the JSbin Demo.

        class MyEl extends Polymer.Element {
          static get is() {
            return 'my-el';
          }

          static get properties() {

      </script>

Your properties getter looks incorrect, as it contains a property named properties. The getter should be:

static get properties() {
  return {
    zipCode: {
      type: String,
      notify: true,
      observer: '_zipCodeChanged',
    },
  }
}
