  • The main tax advantage there would only apply if you lived in Washington and drove to Oregon for significant purchases (cars, electronics, potentially groceries, whatever makes up the bulk of your spending). This is because Oregon doesn’t have sales tax and Washington doesn’t have income tax (Oregon has some of the highest income taxes in the nation, depending on your tax bracket, 4.75-9.9% per nerdwallet. Property taxes are roughly the same at the state level.

    If you’re thinking about moving because you have free agency and want to get the most bang for your buck, considering tax burdens of places you’re looking at should definitely be a data point, since that can make a big financial difference depending on your lifestyle, spending habits, and future income.



  • It’s fascinating reading all of the responses here. I’ve never driven a car with Android Auto or CarPlay, and only use my phone for music and maps infrequently while in the car (with an aftermarket Bluetooth adapter). So I guess I don’t really know what I’m missing. I have absolutely no doubt that GM’s software wouldn’t be as good as connecting up to your phone, but I just have a hard time imagining that being the deciding factor on buying a car or not.
