Which taxes? Marginal California income tax + MediCal is about 13% at the $120k bracket.

Seattle has no income tax, and sales tax doesn't apply to most food from the grocery store, so taxes in Seattle really depend on how you choose to spend your money.

Washington state will ding you in other ways to make up for the lack of an income tax...e.g. more property tax.

Actually Seattle's property tax is pretty good. You wouldn't believe how unprogressice WA is in practice.
