Washington Sales Tax (2026)

Conditional: State retail sales tax is 6.5%; cities and counties add a local portion that varies by location, and sellers collect at the rate where the customer receives the goods or services - so the combined rate depends on the delivery location (use the DOR Tax Rate Lookup for an exact address).
