Medical Lake school district plans two February tax measures
Both proposals will appear in a special election.
Medical Lake School District voters will decide on two school-related tax measures in the Feb. 9 special election. The school board approved putting both proposals before voters: a three-year replacement levy for educational programs and operations, plus a 23-year bond.
The levy would raise $7.3 million and is projected at $1.67 for every $1,000 of assessed property value. District funds would support needs beyond state basic-education dollars, including teacher pay, nursing services and extracurricular activities. The bond, worth nearly $20 million, would pay for building work such as roof replacements and updated mechanical systems.
The two measures have different approval thresholds. More than half of votes is required for the levy, while the bond needs at least 60%. Ballots are expected in the mail toward the end of January, giving local households time to review the proposals before voting. The measures could affect property-tax bills and the district programs and facilities serving Medical Lake families.

- Ballots expected by mail in late January
- Levy: $7.3 million over three years
