Seattle King County Realtors have endorsed three measures for the Lake Washington School District and pledged assistance for a “get-out-the-vote” campaign for the Feb. 11 election. The funding requests include renewal of two levies and a bond measure.

The Sammamish area is the school district.

Realtors praised the district for the caliber of its college prep and career-technical offerings.

Lake Washington’s propositions include renewal of an Educational Programs and Operations Levy that funds 22.5 percent of the district’s general operating revenue, and renewal of the Capital Projects Levy. Those funds would support teaching and learning tools, safety, security and health upgrades, and school building and site improvements.

The third measure would raise $755 million through sales of 20-year bonds. The money would be used for new classroom space to accommodate growing enrollment (projected at 4,000 more students in the next eight years) and for replacing a half-dozen aging schools.

The overall tax rate with the replacement levies and new bond measure is estimated to be $4.73 per $1,000 of assessed value. For a home of average value in the district, the annual increase would be $365.
