Snohomish County Sale Tax increases to 9.5% in 2009

At the first of the year and at the beginning of April 2009, Snohomish County residents may have or may not have noticed the local sales increase, depending on the city, from 8.6% to 9.5%. The sales tax increase is aimed at improving local services; transportation, chemical dependency and mental health.

After reviewing the affected areas it looks that the cities with higher population and/or greater demand for services received the tax increase, Bothell/Snohomish, Everett, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace and Woodway. But with the lack of information on Washington State’s website I am unable to determine how these services will be impacted.

I have email the Department of Revenue and received the following response: “The .005 sales tax increase for King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties was from the RTA going from .004 to .009. This was voted on by the public in last November’s general election”. Not much of an explanation. In the mean time the chart below has the break down for the Snohomish County sales tax.
