Washington
Secretary of State

In Washington, the Secretary of State is responsible for registering corporations, with Steve Hobbs currently serving in the role. Washington stands out for not having a personal or corporate income tax, which can be appealing for businesses seeking tax advantages. The state is a hub for technology, aerospace, and trade, and it offers incentives for companies involved in R&D and renewable energy. Washington’s access to international markets through the Port of Seattle makes it an attractive location for businesses in export and logistics.
