Washington has no state income tax, which attracts entrepreneurs from neighboring Oregon and California. Seattle's strong tech economy creates a high-income consumer base, but commercial rents and the $16.28 minimum wage push up operating costs. Eastern Washington (Spokane area) offers significantly lower costs. The state's B&O gross receipts tax applies to all business revenue.
