I also drove to Seattle -- lived in Shoreline for 14 years before being priced out of Seattle upon retirement. I had the same issue with registering my 8 year old Oldsmobile, but I believe they calculate depreciation into that.

They probably do calculate depreciation. My car was a year old Chrysler LeBaron convertible and they hit me hard. I lived and worked in Tukwila, car theft capital of the US and, yes, I got my car stolen and wrecked. Tukwila suffers from too many melanin enhanced criminals.
