Some of us like that gray sky. It matches our gray personalities.
Yes Oregon does have state income tax...but WA has high sales taxes on almost everything but food. I think it would be close to a push in terms of taxes when the current sales taxes are close to 10%.
But then...I haven’t checked Oregon’s tax structure.
And I do get where some folks ‘like’ the gray. I’m just done w/ gray skies that go on forever and ever. I kind of like that unrelenting sunshine you get in say Colorado. I’m just not willing to move that far from the coastline. (I also found the drivers in Colorado to be freaking nuts on the freeways).
Different strokes....
