Our restaurant sales tax is now an even 10% – this includes coffee purchases even if you don’t drink it there…

Anyone feel like sneaking into Elliott Bay and tossing cases of Starbucks beans into the harbor? It’s worked before… maybe it will work again. Either that or a nice public outing of everyone in Olympia or King County that worked to get this passed and then start a paper trail to see where the money is going. I bet you anything that it’s going to fund some park project in Seattle or Renton… because nothing helps a recession more than adding a 10% surcharge to western Washington’s most often purchased and already overpriced items and laying down new sod.

By far and wide: this is unconscionable.
