It's heeeeeeere. A few reminders for the next few weeks:

• With games in Seattle and Vancouver AND nine fan zones cross the state, expect heavy congestion on major north-south AND east-west routes.

• Expect longer border crossing times.

• Transit is your friend. We have a landing page that serves as a one-stop shop that links to our real-time travel map, our app, border wait times, and all of our regional transportation partners. Get familiar with it! https://engage.wsdot.wa.gov/seattle-world-championship-soccer

• Most major construction in the Seattle area is paused until July 6 but expect some overnight lane and ramp closures on non-match days.

After a grueling 25 hours of debate on the House floor, complete with an almost show-stopping filibuster effort of more than 81 amendments by Republicans to stop the bill from moving forward, Washington made history this week with the passage of a millionaires tax bill, which would create the first income tax in the state’s history.

On March 9, lawmakers passed a 9.9% tax on personal income above $1 million per year—a first for the income-taxless state. The final vote was 52–46, and involved the longest floor debate in Washington history, far exceeding the previous record of nine hours.

“We knew it was going to be a pretty major endeavor,” Rep. Brianna Thomas, a Democrat who supported the measure, told Fortune. “We’ve got 93 years of precedent in front of us, behind us, around us at all times on the conversation around an income tax.”

Almost immediately after the bill passed, billionaire Starbucks founder Howard Schultz announced he was swapping Seattle for Miami, where he recently paid $44 million for a penthouse. Although he has not confirmed the passage of the bill is why he chose to leave, Schultz, who is worth $6.6 billion, wrote on LinkedIn he hoped Washington would “remain a place for business and entrepreneurship to thrive.”
