Pros
Washington has no personal income tax! Great for getting a high paying job.
Cons
- Unfortunately, Washington has unique names for every business regulatory agency, over-regulates on the state, county, and city level, and has super high fees for everything.
- Washington is going broke because it has monopolies on many industries that are private in other states. A state agency is never going to run a program as efficiently as a private business.
- Work comp insurance is a big problem for many Washington businesses. They hand out payments to many people who aren’t hurt and raise fees on the business owners to cover their own lack of efficiency.
