No doubt Christine will catch up with us some day.

I have no sympathy for Christine. I bought two vehicles in other states, one in Ohio and one in Oregon, before I became a Washington Resident. When I went to the DMV, I had to fork over $2000 for one and $400 for the other, simply because I did not play the durn game of registering my vehicles where I bought them first.

Washington was touted as a tax friendly state for retirees. Not so. Not at all.

Ah! Taxifornia! If you buy something in a state with a lower or no state sales tax, the state claims you should pay it either the difference or the full mount of its tax rate. If you buy something via mail order or the internet and pay no tax, CA state claims you owe it CA sales tax.
