Before the state of Washington purges its businesses like California did with Toyota, Nestle, and others, Seattle itself will purge its more prominent citizens to the suburbs with a 2.25% tax on income, but only for those above 250,000. As if the residents won't relocate outside the tax zone.

The Seattle City Council unanimously approved an income tax on wealthy residents Monday, a move widely expected to draw a quick legal challenge.
The measure applies a 2.25 percent tax on total income above $250,000 for individuals and above $500,000 for married couples filing their taxes together.
“Seattle should serve everyone, not just rich folks,” software developer Carissa Knipe told the council before the 9-0 vote, saying she makes more than $170,000 per year.
“I would love to be taxed,” the 24-year-old from Ballard testified, drawing applause from a room packed with supporters of the tax.
