A new Washington State law (ESSB 5814) will begin requiring sales tax on many after-school and enrichment programs starting in 2025. This change may increase the cost of youth classes across the state.
Families who wish to express how these changes may affect access, affordability, and equity in youth programs may contact their Washington State legislators.
