In some exclusive, expensive cities around Seattle like Medina, Clyde Hill, Hunt's Point you see the opposite. Tax rates are much lower because against the higher property values the cities are able to collect enough to pay for services. There are some weird downsides though. Some of these cities don't have their own libraries and don't pay into the county library system, so their residents can't checkout books for any library. I guess they can afford to just buy any book they need.
