The election is November 7 and Seattle voters will weigh in on the city’s largest-ever property tax measure for affordable housing.
The new housing levy would raise $970 million over seven years. That’s more than triple the existing measure.
The new measure would fund around 3,200 homes for people with low and moderate incomes.
If you own a median $855,000 home it would cost you around $385 a year.
That’s a bump of $260.
