I feel like doing it at the city level would encourage rich people to have an "empty" house in Seattle and their "residence" as a second home elsewhere in the state.

I wonder if there is a good proposal to address this sort of gaming.

Kind of weird to have both a state and municipality tax on this one. Wonder how that vote would turn out considering the only ones left in Seattle are those that get iso's
