Seattle $75M Mansion Slashes $30M As Wealthy Flee Mayor Wilson's Tax

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Seattle's most expensive home listing just took a $30 million haircut — from $75 million down to $45 million — and it has nothing to do with a soft market. It's because Washington's ultra-wealthy are voting with their feet, and Mayor Katie Wilson is the one holding the door open.Democrats in Olympia swore their new 9.9% income tax wouldn't chase anyone out of state. The Denny Blaine waterfront estate says otherwise. A 40% price slash on the state's priciest listing isn't a negotiating tactic — it's capital flight in real time. The sellers aren't lowering their ask because they want to. They're lowering it because the buyers who could write that check have already relocated to states that don't punish success.This is what the progressive playbook looks like when it finally runs out of road. Tax the wealthy, watch them leave, watch the market collapse, then act surprised when the revenue forecasts never materialize. Seattle's luxury inventory is surging, serious cash buyers are disappearing, and the canary isn't just singing anymore — it's on the floor. One $30 million price cut is a data point. A wave of them is a policy verdict.CHAPTERS0:00 Blue State Exodus: Seattle Mansion…1:56 Seattle's $75M Home Slashed to $45M4:03 Seattle's Most Prime Waterfront Location5:21 Sellers Taking a $30M Haircut7:19 Twelve Bathrooms on a $45M Listing8:19 Jeff Bezos Got $63M, Bloom Gets $45M9:35 Sellers Just Want Out of Washington11:19 Washington's 9.9% Tax Chasing Out Wealth12:35 Sky-High Asking Prices Face Market…13:54 Luxury Listings Up 65% After Tax Signed15:14 Rich Barton and Bezos Led the Exodus16:54 Cash Buyers Win as Sellers Flee19:35 Staying in Seattle Means Paying More22:10 Mayor Wilson Wrong About the ExodusSubscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell — new episodes every weekday.#Seattle #Socialism #WashingtonPoliticsGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
