Washington

Annual tax revenue change: 0.2%
Jan.-Mar. 2008 tax revenue: $3.049 billion
Annual home value change: 2.92%

As real estate, sales, and business taxes shrink, Washington state economists say they expect revenue over the next three years to drop by $167 million, in part because of the slowing housing market. State budget managers are putting together the 2009-2011 budget, which will be presented to the legislature in December.
