In 5 years or so I will probably have a non-profit-making business, but also personal capital gains to take regularly, so the WA/OR split is pretty ideal for that I think. Or be a US citizen resident in Europe or Asia, so having no state income tax makes a lot of sense. (A lot of datacenters are in OR specifically because of the lack of sales/use tax on servers; I used to think cheap power was the primary draw, but it actually is #2. Great fiber, supportive local governments with tax/etc. credits, etc. also contribute, but are less critical.)
