I personally know several people who left Washington state because of the recently enacted capital gains tax.

The tax was targeted at Jeff Bezos, but he decamped to Florida just before it went into effect.

It's an interesting one because its relatively mild; we decamped _to_ Washington from Oregon (very partially) because the tax was so much more favorable in Washington.

(Washington tax here is cap gains at 7% which doesn't kick in until capital gains > 250k)

Bezos famously says that when the anecdotes conflict with the data, trust the anecdotes
