Join us for Dinner and Discussion about Prop 1

As part of the Kenmore Community Club's Dinner and Discussions the City of Kenmore will host an informational presentation

Proposition 1 is a levy lid lift on the November 2026 ballot that would provide funding for programs and services related to Climate & Environmental Stewardship, Affordable Housing, and Human Services—including environmental programs, affordable housing efforts, and services that assist families, seniors, youth, and other vulnerable populations.

The price of gas, food and housing are all rising, the increase in costs for these over the past 5 years has averaged 5 percent. Similarly the cost of providing city services have increased accordingly, however due to a law passed by the legislature in 2007, Washington cities are limited to increasing property tax revenues to 1 percent. This causes the city of Kenmore and all other cities in the state into what is called a structural deficit. In other words, every year that cities' costs increase more than 1 percent, cities' revenue fall short of covering the rising costs.

The Kenmore Community Club's Dinner and Discussion are chance for community members to hear about current topics, ask questions and learn more about the issues we face.
