Support Kent Businesses While Shopping for the Holidays

Did you know that shopping at Cheryl's Unique Boutique supports the local community? For every $1,000 in sales tax spent in Kent, $8.50 goes back to the city. Below is how the sales taxes are structured:

For every $1,000 in sales in Kent, here's how local sales taxes* are distributed:

$65.00 - Washington state
$9.00 - Regional Transit Authority (RTA)
$8.50 - City of Kent
$8.00 - Metro
$3.50 - King County
$1.00 - Criminal Justice

*Calculated based on a sales tax rate of 9.5%

Supporting local businesses is much more than helping a small business. It also helps our city prosper and grow in a positive way. On top of this, you save so much in fuel, time and money. Why wouldn't you want to shop in Kent? Visiting downtown Kent you can find everything you need and all so close just in time for the holidays.
