    Vote YES for new schools and smaller classes

  • The final measure of the trio of levies for Lake Washington School District is Proposition No. 3, the Building Excellence Levy. The district notes that it has grown tremendously in recent years, with 7,300 new students and an anticipated 3,500 more by 2030. The funds from this levy would, if approved, go towards the construction of a new elementary school, expansions at Finn Hill, Kirkland, and Redmond middle schools, and additional high school capacity for 1,200 students, for an estimated total of 2,350 more students.

    The levy would start at a rate of $0.42 per $1,000 in assessed value in 2023 and slowly increase to $0.53 by 2028. The owner of an $800,000 home could expect to pay approximately $336 per year in 2023.

    With many schools already nearly full, the district estimates that if no action is taken, 83 percent of schools will be at or over their capacity by 2030. Overcrowded classrooms can make it harder for students to access the materials and technology they need to learn. Vote YES on Proposition No. 3 to help our schools be the foundation for student excellence in the Lake Washington School District.
