Leslie Goeres, a 37-year-old Seattle entrepreneur, has been house-hunting in Nashville, Tenn., and expects to move by October. The attraction? Tennessee doesn’t have an income tax, while Washington will levy a 9.9% “millionaires tax” on household income above $1 million, starting in 2028. Goeres owns the Soak & Sage spa in Renton. She had already decided to open a second, larger location in Nashville because of its lower business taxes and operating costs, and signed a lease in February.
