Keep Edmonds Affordable launches campaign opposing levy lift - My Edmonds News

The campaign launched by Keep Edmonds Affordable opposes a proposed property tax levy lift in Edmonds, Washington. More than 30 community members attended the kickoff event at the Edmonds Library to discuss their strategy against Proposition 1, which will appear on the ballot on November 4. The coalition emphasizes that the levy could exacerbate housing affordability issues in the area. They argue that rising taxes could push out long-time residents and discourage newcomers. Local residents are encouraged to engage with the campaign and understand the potential financial impacts.

The initiative seeks to protect the community’s economic diversity and ensure that Edmonds remains accessible. By rallying public support, the group hopes to influence the election outcome and maintain affordable living conditions. This campaign reflects ongoing concerns about housing affordability in many urban areas across the country.
