Your vote to renew and replace the County Parks levy will protect thousands of acres of forests and open spaces, invest in parks large and small, improve trails, pools and playfields, and expand recreation and learning for underserved communities. The typical homeowner will pay $2.28/ month over the current levy, with strong public oversight.

For Our Health: Preserving forests and open spaces will help combat climate change, protect air and water quality, and provide places and trails to get outside and enjoy nature, critical in our growing region.

For Our Kids: Funding maintenance and upgrades of playground equipment, sports fields, and public pools will expand opportunities for exercise and recreation. All King County kids deserve fun and safe places to play close to home. 

For Our Communities: Dedicating funds to enhance education and access at the Zoo and expanding the Aquarium reflect our regional commitment to hands-on learning. The levy also provides resources for cities to improve parks and playgrounds in every community. Endorsed by: The Nature Conservancy, Forterra, The Trust for Public Land, WA Trails Association, Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle Aquarium, Executive Dow Constantine, bi-partisan Council majority. Signers represent youth soccer, affordable housing, and animal conservation organizations.
