Letter to the Editor Hey Lake Forest Park, Lets Invest In Ourselves!

Shoreline, WALocal News

Lake Forest Park residents are being urged to vote YES on PROP 1, a temporary levy lid lift scheduled for the November ballot. This proposal aims to generate approximately $1. 2 million annually to address increasing costs in public safety services. The median household will face an estimated additional cost of $18 per month. A recent city poll revealed that maintaining public safety services is the highest priority for local residents.

Dan Benson, the letter's author, draws a parallel between this levy and school levies, highlighting the community's dedication to education and safety. The temporary nature of the levy, set to expire after six years, underscores its urgency amid rising service costs. Support for PROP 1 demonstrates a commitment to the safety and resilience of the Lake Forest Park community. Residents are encouraged to visit YesOnLFPProp1. com for more information.
