Bailey Stober, a spokesman for the assessor, said Tuesday the 2018 boost is “the largest property-tax increase in King County in modern history.”

Golly, with tax increases *this* high, it’s really too bad they won’t be deductible.

    For Seattle folks, what's the yearly property tax on an average home (roughly)? Say you have a 600K house in West Seattle, what's the yearly bill for that, or any examples any of you have.

    About 1% or 6k for 2017. Mine's higher, but I'm not bragging. I'm a fucking fool to stay in this shithole.

    Here's that whole states rights argument. Purple didn't care as much about state taxes as they wrote all of it off on their federal taxes. That's gonna change!

    Which is bullshit that equates to taxing a tax. Kinda the thing we took the Country over in the first place for.
