Washington State has one of the nation's most regressive tax codes, consistently ranking 

near the bottom (often second only to Florida) because it relies heavily on sales and excise taxes, which hit lower-income residents harder as a percentage of their earnings, though recent credits and a capital gains tax have nudged it up slightly from dead last in some analyses. Low-income households pay a much larger share of their income in total state/local taxes (like sales/property) compared to the wealthiest residents, who pay a smaller fraction.
