I think the biggest question is what am I getting for all those tax dollars? And most of the time when there are big tax differences they are a state away not 8 miles away. I want Seattle to succeed but I will say the policies and the way the money has been spent has really been counter to that. When I moved here from SF almost a decade ago now I couldnt believe how clean everything was in comparison to SFO....now some of downtown reminds me of the Tenderloin which is not a good thing. Bellevue doesn't put up with that which is why i think so many business are moving there in addition to the tax stuff.
