I live in Vancouver, WA and my IP comes back to Portland, OR.

Vancouver residents may as well be Oregonians anyway. Most of them are paying OR income tax. They do most of their shopping and entertainment in Oregon too.
I work for a Portland company at home in Vancouver so I get to skip their income tax. It's a 10-15 minute drive to the PDX area where there is a Best Buy, Ikea and other stores where I can easily skip sales if I want to.
You live the best life; basically only federal income taxes.

The 20 min further south than you I live costs me over $30k/year.

Yeah, I was working from home anyway so it just made sense to move. The money I saved paid my rent fully and then some.
