Wenatchee Sales Taxes: going up to 8.3%

The City of Wenatchee is in for a 0.2% sales tax increase in the coming days.  This will raise Wenatchee's sales tax to 8.3%.  There will also likely be a be a public vote to add a 0.1% sales tax increase across all nine PFD districts (which includes Wenatchee) in the April 17th election.  Therefore, Wenatchee's sales tax could reach 8.4%.  This is still lower than the average Washington Sales Tax rate which is 8.80%
