1. it went up in Washington State also

2. Wow. But I think the cost of living is somewhat

4. live in the Everett to Olympia to Bremerton triangle

otherwise it's not too bad other tan buying gas because we have a seriously high gas tax. Our sales also is 10% but food is not taxed (unless you're in a restaurant)
