Seattle just tumbled to #29 on the global foreign investment attractiveness index — and Mayor Katie Wilson is handing out the shovels. A new report flags Washington's hostile regulatory environment, skyrocketing taxes, and a permissive approach to public safety as the core reasons international capital is walking out the door.

While other cities are rolling out the welcome mat, Mayor Wilson is rolling out a millionaire's exit ramp. Starbucks is gone. Employers who built Seattle's economic identity are quietly — or not so quietly — fleeing to states that don't treat job creators like a revenue target. An incoming millionaire's tax isn't bold leadership; it's an eviction notice.

The ranking isn't just a number. It represents billions in foregone investment, thousands of jobs that won't be created, and a business climate so damaged that even the World Cup can't fill hotel rooms. Sean breaks down the FT/McKinsey data and explains exactly how Seattle's leadership turned a top-tier tech hub into a cautionary tale — one the rest of Washington State is now inheriting.
