Details
Pierce Transit (PTBA, RCW 36.57A) — 0.6% sales tax, TY2024, unchanged for ~23 years. NOTE: Tacoma also sits inside the separate Sound Transit RTA district (1.4%, already modeled in batch-1 for Seattle/Bellevue/Kent/Renton/Federal Way, but Tacoma is NOT in that entry's union-cities polygon) — omitting Sound Transit here understates Tacoma's total transit sales-tax burden by more than 2x; flagged for a follow-on Sound-Transit-polygon extension, out of scope for this batchWho decides
