Lynnwood: 10.8%
Bellevue: 10.3%
Renton: 10.3%
Spokane: 9.1%
As far as I understand it, the sales tax rate is determined by the location of the dealership.
First observation: never take delivery in Lynnwood. 20 miles away in Bellevue you're saving 0.5%.
Second observation: you would save 1.2% by picking up in Spokane and drive 300 miles back to Seattle.
I ordered a MY and thinking through my options here. 1.2% on a $53k car is $636. Not sure it's worth doing the Spokane trip. Where I live in Woodinville the rate is only 8.9%. I wish there would be a way to take delivery at my home and get the lower sales tax rate. Any ideas?
