Vote YES to relieve overcrowding and improve school safety

State funding only covers so much of Hockinson’s budget, and like other Washington school districts, our district relies on local bonds and levies to ensure our schools have the resources needed to provide a high-quality education for every student.

Hockinson School District Proposition 9 would authorize a local bond to fund the construction of a much-needed second elementary school. Hockinson’s only elementary school is facing severe overcrowding with 924 students. The consequences of such over-enrollment include higher student-teacher ratios, traffic congestion, and reliance on portable classrooms. Yet we know that to give each student the best chance for academic success, our schools need to dedicate sufficient individual resources and personalized attention to every student. Relieving overcrowding is a critical step towards improving the quality of education in Hockinson schools.

If passed, Proposition 9 will fund a new, second elementary school with roughly ⅔ of the budget. The rest of the revenue is earmarked for capital projects such as safety upgrades across the district, outdoor play area development at Hockinson Middle School, remodeling for the existing elementary school, and more. The bond is estimated to cost homeowners an additional $0.68 per $1,000 of assessed value on top of the current school bond, which is set to decrease in 2026. This means that the owner of a $750,000 home can expect to pay approximately $510 annually for school construction.

Our entire community benefits from a strong school district that provides every student with a high-quality curriculum, enriching programs, and safe, modern learning environments. Vote Yes on Hockinson School District Proposition 9.

VOTE APPROVED

Approve 8201 to grow WA Cares Funding!

SJR 8201 will grow Washington’s long-term care fund for aging people and people with disabilities, keeping premiums low, without costing taxpayers a single penny. Also known as the “Allow Investment of Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Fund Amendment," SJR 8201 is a constitutional amendment adding accountability protections to our long-term care fund, requiring that 100% of investment income be used for long-term care.

If passed, SJR 8201 would increase the state’s long-term care fund for vulnerable Washingtonians by at least $67 billion over the next 50 years by allowing the nonpartisan Washington State Investment Board to diversify investments. In the state legislature, 128 legislators voted in favor of the measure, and only 16 were opposed. Additionally, it has the support of groups such as the Washington State Nurses Association, the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters, Planned Parenthood, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Vote APPROVED on SJR 8201 to protect and grow our state’s independent long-term care fund for aging adults and people with disabilities.
