The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Decision point. Which state to live in? CO, UT, WA, NH

44AMP, when I lived in Seattle, between the State sales tax and the county and city (or just county, not sure) taxes, the net sales tax was around 9%, if not over. This was in the 2000-2001 timeframe.

I just looked it up, and as of Feb 2012, Seattle sales tax was 9.5%.
