The Tacoma City Council passed its draconian ammunition and firearms tax law finally (modeled after Seattle's law, which drove all but one retailer out of that city).

Probably more local news links available, but trying to avoid subscription websites.
To sum it up: 5 cents per round tax on ALL ammunition (only 2 cents on 22 LR "or smaller"). $25 fee added to all firearms purchases.
Owners of two of the remaining shops inside the city, including one which is a distributor for state and local law enforcement equipment, have indicated they will close rather than move.
This is part of the blue-print for how it ends, folks.
