What is so weird about it?
I think because there might not be a specific rule or law against it, using campaign donations to benefit your own bank account is at least morally wrong.
She's using a website paid for by her campaign to advertise her private business. Its shady.
Here's the actual RCW:

While it doesn't prohibit what she does, it does imply that campaigns and campaign funds aren't supposed to be a personal benefit to the candidate.
I am curious as to why this is so shady.
It is out in the open: Karen is demonstrating her business acumen by presenting her businesses to the public.
I'm guessing she just doesn't know any better.
