Economy + tax load

Median household income: $110,700. Top industries: tech (Amazon, Microsoft), aerospace (Boeing), retail (Costco, Starbucks), biotech. Washington has no state income tax, which matters for solo operators. B&O tax applies to businesses.

Regulatory notes

What it does

Pest control is a recurring-revenue business the moment you write the first quarterly contract. This workbook prices each service by pest and property type, tracks jobs by client history, inventories chemicals and application equipment, and monitors recurring revenue by contract type. The tab that shows next month's recurring is the tab that matters.
