Just got back from Washington. It was pure joy to know that I could assist the folks in King County pay off their shiny new stadia.

Sales tax ... 8.90%
Airport Recovery Fee ... 11.10%
Rental Car Tax ... 9.70%
Consolidated Facility Charge ... $4.00 per day (12.5%)

Paying an additional 50% for the privilege of sitting in traffic for an hour ... priceless.
