Reply to comment by sailorscout- in Do you prefer Washington to Massachusetts? by Clollin

Everyone seems to talk about no income tax but is it really that much saving with other taxes in WA being 8% like sakes or the property tax.

Where I'm from I had income tax plus 8.5% sales tax plus much higher property taxes, so yeah it certainly is better here.

sales tax is 6.5% which is the same as mass. property tax is also lower than the national average, compared to MA like 2% higher than the national average.
