Special election results are in: Voters showing support for public services
In King County, suburban and rural voters are narrowly approving a proposition to relieve the King County Library System from the suffocating restraints of Initiative 747. 91,215 are for the measure; 89,359 are against.
Most school district levies throughout King County were passing comfortably, with the only exception being Federal Way's capital levy. The Seattle School District's levies were passing with over seventy percent support. Mercer Island's and Bellevue's levies all had more than sixty percent support.
Voters in Redmond and Kirkland, however, were offering more muted support to the Lake Washington School District. Its operations and technology levies appear headed for passage, but its general obligation bonds appear to be far short of the supermajority threshold required. Voters to the immediate north, however, are saying yes to Northshore's bond request as well its levy requests.
