• Local business tax receipts in Washington can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, King County and Maple Valley. Official source
• Doing business under a name other than the owner’s full legal name is one of the conditions that requires a Washington state business license, so the trade name is registered together with that license at the Department of Revenue. Official source
• Washington’s state retail sales tax rate is 6.5%, with a local rate added depending on the city or county. Washington State Department of Revenue

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
