Security company drops lawsuit over new WA tax

A security company has dropped its lawsuit over Washington’s new sales tax on services weeks after filing it.

It’s unclear why.

The development came after Security Services Northwest brought a suit against the state at the end of September. The voluntary dismissal, signed by a Thurston County Superior Court judge Nov. 4, was without prejudice, meaning the company could refile its lawsuit.

The Sequim-based firm and its lawyer didn’t respond to requests for comment. The state’s Department of Revenue and attorney general’s office weren’t sure why the company backed down.
