cost of living
NO STATE INCOME TAX
Washington is one of the few states with no state income tax, making it especially appealing for those looking to keep more of their earnings whether you're a high-income professional, retiree, or business owner However, the state offsets this with higher sales taxes, property taxes, and various fees For example, Washington has one of the highest combined sales tax rates in the country, along with significant gas taxes and business taxes While the lack of income tax is a major draw, it’s important to consider the overall tax structure when planning a move
PROPERTY TAXES
Washington’s property tax rate averages 0.92% of assessed value lower than the 1.11% national average and significantly less than high-tax states like New Jersey (~2%). While home values here are higher, tax rates remain relatively low
Unlike many states where property assessments reset upon sale, Washington uses a mass appraisal approach County assessors analyze market trends and recent sales data to update values annually, based on the prior 18 months of market conditions Though values typically rise, they can decrease in down markets Assessors also conduct visual inspections every 6–10 years, adjusting for major renovations or condition changes
SALES TAX
Since we don’t have income tax the state has to make its money somewhere - so we do have sales tax In Gig Harbor currently the rate ranges from 8 9 to 9 2% depending on the zip code
EXCISE TAX
In Washington State, Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) is a graduated tax paid by the seller when property is sold. The state rate starts at 1.1% for homes up to $525,000 and increases to 3% for portions of a sale over $3 03 million Gig Harbor also adds a 0 5% local REET, bringing the total tax to 1 6%–3 5% depending on the sale price These funds support state and local infrastructure, making it an important cost for sellers to factor in
.

TRANSPORTATION COSTS
Auto Insurance: Up to 20% lower than the national average (Washington drivers are generally less aggressive).
Gas Prices: Among the highest in the U.S. due to a $0.50 per gallon gas tax → Leading to more electric vehicles in the state
