Residents, community leaders, firefighters and public safety experts across Shoreline, Kenmore and Lake Forest Park are in strong support of Prop 1, a Regional Fire Authority (RFA). Prop 1 further strengthens the existing relationship between the Shoreline and Northshore Fire Departments. It will reduce costs, streamline operations, and support our firefighters to continue delivering exceptional fire and emergency medical services.
Shoreline and Northshore Fire have worked together successfully for decades. Starting in 2022, they began formally sharing staff and resources under contract, which has seen great success. The RFA is a natural next step and is specifically designed to deliver improved levels of public safety at a lower cost for residents. Further, the RFA will be governed by representatives from each community in the RFA, giving all of our cities a voice in how our fire services are managed.
Overall, the RFA is a win-win for the community and for our firefighters. We humbly ask for your support: Vote Yes on Prop 1!
Selected Endorsements: State Senators Derek Stanford, Jesse Salomon; State Representatives Cindy Ryu, Davina Duerr, Lauren Davis, Shelly Kloba; King County Councilmember Rod Dembowski; Kenmore and Lake Forest Park City Councils; Shoreline Firefighters Local 1760; 1st LD Democrats.
