Amazon, Alaska, Costco, Microsoft, Nordstrom asking Washington to skip payroll, wealth tax

Dozens of major companies have sent a letter to Washington's governor and state legislature to "review and revise" the tax and budget proposals, saying they threaten the state’s economic stability.

Alaska Airlines, Amazon, Costco, Microsoft, Nordstrom, PSE, Zillow, T-Mobile, Redfin, Virginia Mason, WaFd Bank, Weyerhaeuser, Puget Sound Energy, and the Seattle Mariners were among the co-signers on the letter addressed to Gov. Bob Ferguson, State Senate Leader Jamie Pedersen, House Speaker Laurie Jinkins, and Minority leaders John Braun and Drew Stokesbury.

This comes a day after Ferguson said he would veto any bill with a proposed wealth tax off the table in any spending package amid approvals by the House and Senate for a slew of new taxes.
