This morning, Seattle did what may have never been done before: Its City Council voted to delete a city tax before that tax had ever been used in collections.
Months ago, the City passed a $500 per employee tax to be paid by every employer in the city , or , at least, every large employer. Amazon, who is moving to that city, said "No Way." So the Council voted to lower the tax to $275 per employee. Amazon said "No," once again. So, this morning, June 12, the Council voted its own tax down, before it ever went into effect.
