February 9, 2010 Special Election features local ballot measures for school districts and library district.
EVERETT – Eight School Districts and the King County Regional Library will ask local voters at the February 9, 2010 Special Election to support continuation of existing taxes or new tax and bond issues for operations and projects. Ballots for the special election will be mailed to over 300,000 Snohomish County voters beginning January 21. The Edmonds, Everett, Lake Stevens, Marysville, Mukilteo, Northshore, Snohomish and Sultan School Districts have issues before voters. In addition voters in Bothell served by the King County Regional Library will be presented with a levy lid lift question.
“Local elections affect our daily lives. Many local school districts in Snohomish County and the King County Regional Library system are asking voters to consider the level of funding these districts will have available in the coming years,” said County Auditor Carolyn Weikel.
