From today's Puget Sound Business Journal:

The following data compares the current yearly local tax bill for a hypothetical company with 200 full-time employees and $100 million in taxable gross receipts in several Puget Sound-area cities:
Seattle: $429,000
Bellevue: $189,651
Bothell: $4,564
Kirkland: $21,100
Redmond: $22,400
Renton: $85,150
