Vote YES on Proposition 1
-
It has been thirty years since Kirkland last passed a fire ballot measure, and as the population and need for services grow, voters will now have an opportunity to modernize and improve some of our most critical services. This summer, the Kirkland City Council approved Ordinance O-4731, which was developed by the Kirkland Community Safety Advisory Group, to fund additional fire and emergency medical services. A yes vote on Proposition 1 would help protect our community and firefighters.
The levy increases the city's property tax rate by approximately $0.23 per $1,000 of assessed home valuation to a maximum rate of $1.23 per $1,000 assessed valuation. The services provided would cost the owner of a median $730,000 home about $14.25 per month. Qualifying seniors, disabled veterans, and others would be exempt.
The funding from this levy will support many critical needs, including replenishing and stockpiling personal protective equipment, building a new fire station in Totem Lake, modernizing existing fire stations, making seismic renovations, and hiring twenty additional firefighters and EMTs. These upgrades will help save lives and improve response times.
As Washington struggles with the fallout from a devastating and historic wildfire season on top of the coronavirus pandemic, voters should absolutely invest in strengthening the city's firefighting and medical services.

Young people deserve accurate information to help them make good decisions, to protect themselves, and to protect their futures. But today, too many students don’t receive high-quality, inclusive, medically accurate education about sex and healthy relationships, putting them at risk of sexual assault, unintended pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections. In particular, students of color are more likely to receive incomplete or incorrect sex education.
