Initiative or Levy Information
Title
King County Parks Levy
Summary
Renewal of levy that funds King County parks and parks programs
Description
This measure provides funding for more than 200 parks, trails, playfields, and hands-on learning destinations in every city and across rural King County. Resources will improve maintenance, update restrooms, playgrounds, and other facilities, provide programs for kids and families, and improve safety by funding additional park rangers.
The measure will cost an average homeowner around $2.50 more per month than the current, expiring levy- a small investment in our health, environment, and quality of life. Levy funds are independently audited for accountability.
Your yes vote will also permanently protect thousands of acres of forests, watersheds, wildlife habitat, and open space. Existing trail access will be upgraded and new trails will open to serve our growing region. This levy sets an example of how urban areas can protect clean air and water, and reduce our climate impact, while giving us all places to get outside and enjoy nature.
