by SOUNDER STAFF
There is good news when it comes to the state’s economy.
Washington’s taxable retail sales totals grew to $27.3 billion in the first quarter of 2014 – Jan. 1 to March 31 – recording a 4.9 percent increase over the same period in 2013.
Retail trade, a subset of total taxable retail sales, rose 2.4 percent to $12.3 billion.
The results come from a quarterly report released by the Washington State Department of Revenue of taxable retail sales by industry. The report compares the first quarters of 2014 to 2013, which equal-izes any seasonal effects of consumer pur-chasing habits.
Taxable sales were up in many sectors:• Construction of buildings – 6.1 percent• Furniture and home furnishings – 6.4 percent• New and used auto sales – 6.9 percent• E-commerce and mail order sales – 18.9 percentSome sectors saw a small decline includ-
ing department store purchases, which dropped 9.5 percent over the first three months of 2013.
Last week, the Sounder ran guest column from San Juan Auditor Milene Henley. She wrote that county revenue out-performed both history and expectation in the first half of 2014. Two areas in particular suggest real
economic recovery: real estate and retail trade/tourism.
Real estate activity shows in two ways: increased applications for building permits and land use planning and increased real estate sales.
The sharp drop-off in permitting revenue expected after the CAO implementation date did not happen.
Applications slowed to a more normal pace but remained active enough to sug-gest that overall activity in Community Development and Planning will beat projec-tion by 40 percent.
Real estate sales also continue to improve. Both number and dollar amount of real estate sales in the second quarter far exceed-ed the same period last year. As a result, real estate excise taxes on the sale of property far exceeded expectations in the second quarter.
The San Juan County Land Bank is already at 70 percent of 2014 budget and is likely to exceed budget by 50 percent or more.
The other type of county revenue that was markedly up through the second quarter of 2014 is sales tax.
“We tend to associate sales tax with visi-tors and the money they drop while they’re here,” Henley wrote. “But we all pay sales tax year-round, and the increase in sales tax even in the winter months this year sug-gests that it’s not just tourists spending more money.”
