By voting Yes on Ballot Proposition #1, you actively contribute to sustaining the vital funding for Maple Valley King County Fire District #43. This proposition proposes a necessary reset of the property tax rate to $1.50 per thousand.
With your support, Fire District #43 can enhance its services in Maple Valley Heights, and Hobart addressing the long-standing issue of inadequate fire stations in these areas. Currently, residents of Maple Valley Heights and Hobart face extended travel times for essential fire and emergency services, as the nearest stations are located in the city. This proposition will not only reopen the previous volunteer station in Maple Valley Heights, staffed around the clock, but also facilitate the construction of a new fire station in Hobart, and replace the aging stations within the growing city. It aims to improve services in these underserved neighborhoods while still maintaining financial stability as well .
Safeguarding lives, homes, and businesses should never be taken for granted. We place our trust in the fire department to respond swiftly when every second counts. Now, we have an opportunity to reciprocate that trust by voting Yes. Let us continue to provide the necessary funding and unwavering support to the very service that may one day save Your life or protect Your home.
We personally know and trust the five local commissioners and support their plans to improve local Fire District #43. We urge a Yes vote so our fire department can be there to serve your family and ours. Please vote Yes on ballot Propositions #1 for all of Us!
