Oregon vs Washington taxes?
I'm weighing job offers in Portland and Seattle, and the income tax difference is a big factor. Ignoring sales tax, what are the key state and local taxes I should consider to calculate my net pay difference?

Washington has no state income tax, while Oregon does. This is the most significant difference. However, Washington has a higher sales tax rate in many areas, and property taxes can be substantial depending on the location. Factor in potential city-level taxes or fees as well.

At your income level, Oregon's income tax will likely offset the lack of sales tax, resulting in a higher overall tax burden compared to Washington. Consider also property taxes, which can vary significantly by county and city.
