Having a website does not change the rules, but a few apply to many South Prairie businesses:

• 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
• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
• Many Washington cities license businesses, and those city licences are added to the state business license as endorsements, each with its own fee and extra processing time. In South Prairie, that means asking Pierce County and the Town of South Prairie. Official source
