Washington State has several other ideas to generate money.

1. only licensed moorings can be used-no licenses are being
granted--impound and sell all boats on non licensed moorings

2. shut down not for profit marinas because they make no profit and
therefore a percentage of the profit is not available to take

3. require that all boats from other countries that are cruising in WA
waters register the boat in WA and of course pay the appropriate sales tax
for buying the boat in WA

4. when moving from another state they tax your car on the new price of the
equivalent vehicle, even if you paid sales tax in the other state

rumor has it that you will have to pay a death tax before you will be
permitted to die and that you will have to pay a birth tax before delivery
can proceed
