Washington license plates are about to get a lot more expensive
Vroom vroom! Ka-ching! The price of a Washington state license plate is about to increase.
Starting July 1, car owners will have to pay $50, instead of $10, for a new plate. Replacement plates will cost you $30.
If you're registering your car from another state, the price is shooting up from $15 to $50.
Motorcycle license plate prices are also going up. They're $4 now. A replacement plate will be $12, and a new plate will be $20.
The prices increases are slated to help pay for the $17 billion Move Ahead Washington transportation package that was signed into law earlier this year.
