Snohomish County voters continue to approve most school levies, bonds

EVERETT — Voters across Snohomish County were largely approving levies and bonds for school district funding, with a few exceptions, as special election results continued to roll in Wednesday night.

Levies in Darrington and Monroe were failing, and bonds in Monroe and Mukilteo were just short of the 60% threshold.

Twelve school districts and one fire district asked voters to decide on measures in Tuesday’s special election.

Bond measures fund capital construction projects and require a 60% supermajority to pass. Local levies require 50% of votes to pass and provide ongoing funding for educational programs that aren’t funded by the state, including extracurricular activities, support staff and technology. In addition, the turnout must equal 40% of the voters who cast ballots in the last General
