Pierce County city wants a new tax on warehouses. Will more cities follow?

Warehouses are set to become a source of new tax revenue for the city of Fife under an ordinance that’s been in the works for more than a year. What’s left is figuring out the exact details of what the tax structure will look like. Following a lengthy discussion and debate among Fife council members at the regular Nov. 10 meeting, the council voted to approve an initial version of the measure on first reading, but made clear that language would be adjusted for the second, final reading, which could be as soon as two weeks. Fife, along with other Pierce County metros, has seen its share of warehouse development with its proximity to the Port of Tacoma and Interstate 5. According to Fife’s website: “Businesses operating large warehouse and logistics facilities generate significant road usage and infrastructure wear, while contributing less through retail sales tax than other business types. This tax is designed to create a closer link between infrastructure demand and funding.” The council on Tuesday appeared to be moving toward restricting the revenue to the cost of administering the tax in the first year, return funds to the transportation benefit district that came out of the fund

A younger generation is giving new life to Seattle’s iconic floating homes

On Lake Union and Portage Bay, longtime floating home residents are moving on, and young families are taking their place. For many newcomers, the draw is as much the close-knit community as the uniqueness of the homes. Neighbors see each other daily, stopping to chat on shared docks, and that sense of community is part of the appeal. Inside, though, the homes are private and quiet, and docks are usually silent by 9 PM.

Washington Football Facing Must-Win Game With Trip to Michigan State

Ahead of their first trip to East Lansing as members of the Big Ten, Washington will face some serious pressure to come out on top over the 3-6 Michigan State Spartans. A win for the Huskies doesn't exactly tip the scales on what has been a disappointing season, but suffering their fifth loss of the season to a team with just one win in conference play could prove to have a major impact on the future of the program. Before taking a snap, Jedd Fisch's program entered the season as the No. 17-ranked team in the country in the preseason AP Poll. With College Football Playoff aspirations from those both within and outside the building, those hopes quickly drifted away. After narrowly escaping their first two games, including a 16-14 win over Utah State in Week Two, the Huskies dropped out of the top 25 and haven't been back since. Since beginning conference play, UW has lost four of six, three of which were at home. To fall short of expectations is one thing, but the fashion in which Washington has done it is concerning. The offense, led by second-year starter Demond Williams Jr. and an offensive line that once
