Star,

Moved here from Florida 6 yrs ago (Port Orchard across the sound from you).
My first surprise was going to the courthouse to get a tag. When the girl said $387.00, I started laughing and told her I didn't want a 10 yr tag. Boy, she wiped that smile off my face in a hurry!!

I was a general contractor in Florida for 22 yrs so I thought I'd take the test out here and get licensed to do a little work to keep in shape. NO TEST, just give them $45, get insured. But the paper work and tax on labor? Forget it. WA is definetly an employee friendly state. Maybe BA should've hired more temp workers like MSFT ;-)

But still, I have never met nicer people, except in BC. And compared to south FL, WA's mountains and trees still knocks out this flat-land-FL-boy.

Regards,
Bill/WA
ps: if you ever have to go to south FL and have to drive - first go to the Richard Petty driving school and get weapons training.
