Edmonds Ballot Measures

Depending on where you live, you may have the following city races on your ballot.

VOTE YES

Vote YES to restructure local emergency services without changing where our help comes from

We all benefit when our first responders have stable funding and are available in every community. Edmonds Proposition 1 would bring the city's emergency service needs under the purview of the South Snohomish County Fire & Rescue Regional Fire Authority, or South County Fire (SCF).

Currently, the City of Edmonds has a paid contract with SCF to provide emergency services, which expires in December. Rather than pursue a new contract, the Edmonds City Council decided that it would be more cost-effective to join SCF. If passed, Proposition 1 would maintain the existing source of emergency services and create stable funding for much-needed emergency response in the city. The Edmonds City Council believes that an annexation plan, rather than a contract extension, is the cheapest and most sustainable option for city residents to access life-saving crisis response.

Vote Yes on City of Edmonds Proposition 1 to create a stable funding source for the emergency services we all rely on.
