VOTO YES
Vote YES to build a shared community space
-
This election, the residents of Enumclaw have an opportunity to create a multigenerational space for all. If passed, Proposition No. 1 would fund a new community center, containing a new senior center, an Arts Alive space, a gym, a vegetable garden, and offices for the Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce and the city’s Parks and Recreation Department.
The current senior center is a structure nearing its centennial with limitations that cannot meet the demands of our growing senior population. By replacing it with a shared space for everyone, the city can provide a valuable resource while investing in truly becoming a community.
The bond requires a 60 percent supermajority to pass. With a cost of only $0.30 per $1,000 of assessed property value, or $150 annually for a homeowner with a $500,000 property, this investment would provide cultural and social value to the city with new programs and resources for all. City Hall also plans to leverage state grants and private donations, including a significant $1 million state grant, to make the project more affordable for residents.
Communities that work and play together are stronger and more resilient – vote Yes on Proposition 1.

VOTO YES
Vote YES to fund critical school district needs
-
Our kids deserve a safe and healthy environment to learn in—but without investments from the community, school infrastructure becomes out of date for current needs. To meet these needs, Kent School District Proposition 1 proposes a capital projects and technology levy to fund key improvements in the district.
Earlier this year, Kent School District’s board of directors passed a resolution to provide for funding needs left unaddressed after the failure of the November 2023 bond, when only 48.87 percent of voters were in favor with 50 percent needed for the vote to pass. This replacement levy asks for $190,200,000 levied across three years on excess taxes – less than half of what was asked for the failed 2023 bond – to direct to the district’s most pressing capital and technology priorities. The revenue would be raised at a rate of $1.36 per $1,000 of assessed property value. The owner of a median Kent home could expect to pay approximately $755 a year for this critical investment.
It's now up to voters to approve this proposition to fund health resources, infrastructure repairs and modernization, technology access, digital learning, and professional development for teachers and staff at our schools. Simple investments in resources such as basic software, reliable internet, boiler replacements, and updated air ventilation systems are essential to creating a safe environment for our students to thrive.
Our entire community benefits when our schools are safe, high-quality learning environments where all students can meet their potential.

VOTO YES
Vote YES to continue funding Tahoma schools' basic operations budget
-
Strong schools build strong communities. In order to keep providing critical school resources that state funding doesn't cover, voters are being asked to approve Tahoma School District Proposition 1, which replaces an expiring educational programs and operations (EP&O) levy.
Voters may recognize this levy from the February 2024 special election. Because it failed to gain a 50 percent majority vote, Tahoma’s school board directors have approved its reprisal on April ballots due to its importance in the day-to-day district budget. The levy itself is not new and currently accounts for an estimated 17 percent of the district budget.
The EP&O levy is crucial for providing our students with the basics needed to access a quality education in our modern age. Some of these costs include instructional materials, special programs, activities and sports, technology systems operation, staff salaries, and transportation.
If approved by voters this time, an approximate rate of $2.50 per $1,000 in assessed value would be levied, costing the owner of an average Tahoma home about $1,250 per year. By comparison, the EP&O levy rate previously passed by Tahoma voters in 2020 was just 50 cents lower per $1,000 in assessed value.

VOTO YES
Vote YES to continue funding life-saving emergency services
-
Our community is safer when we have 24/7 access to emergency crisis response equipped with updated tools and sufficient staff. To achieve this, East Pierce Fire & Rescue Proposition 1 authorizes a single-year levy lift to support emergency services.
Earlier this year, the board of fire commissioners for the district determined that a levy was necessary to fund the basic crisis services offered by the East Pierce Fire & Rescue District. With the heightened demand for existing services and the pressures of inflation and levy limitations, the fire district determined that it lacks sufficient funds to continue the same quality and quantity of services. If passed, Proposition 1 would restore the fire district levy to its original rate of $1.50 per $1,000 in assessed value, which would cost the owner of a $600,000 home about $900 a year. This would allow the district to staff two additional fire stations and two response units to address the growing district while retaining existing staff and services.
When a loved one is experiencing a health crisis, the last thing we want to worry about is whether or not our firefighters and ambulance services have the funding they need to help. District residents deserve to feel safe knowing that quality help is just a call away. Vote Yes on East Pierce Fire & Rescue Proposition 1 to ensure that our crisis responders have everything they need to be there for us when we need them.
