"our county could have a 9% sales tax and no property taxes, while the counties across the street have 6% sales taxes and high property tax."

Other than the property tax issue, we have that situation here, but even finer grained. There is a base sales tax rate of 6 and something percent. There are several adders that the counties and cities can add on for hospital districts, bridges and such. As a result, in Webster there at least used to be one intersection where the tax rate was different on each of the four corners. It made the merchants nervous.

re: Good luck to that. Recently, Seattle voters were given the opportunity to pick between two solutions to the replacement of the viaduct downtown, and neither solution won.

If this thing really happens, our county could have a 9% sales tax and no property taxes, while the counties across the street have 6% sales taxes and high property tax.

Imagine the repercussions.

Everyone will move to the one county and shop in the other.
