Who they are
You are weighing MD² Seattle II in Seattle, Washington 98104. What we can say with confidence is mostly about the place around the job, not the unit itself: Washington does not tax wages at the state level, and it is a compact-license state, which matters if you are moving or already carry a compact license.
