Ballots out for Northshore Fire election

The drop box is located
outside of City Hall

Voters in Lake Forest Park and the rest of the Northshore Fire District have started getting ballots for the April 23 special election.

The only item on the ballot is a six-year continuation of a fire benefit charge.

Ballot drop boxes at the Lake Forest Park City Hall, the King County administration building in Seattle and the Tahoma School District office in Maple Valley will be open April 15-23. A drop box at the King County elections office in Renton already is open.

Voters must leave their ballots at a 24-hour drop box by 8pm election day or mail them with a postmark on or before April 23.

Any registered King County voter can cast a ballot in person by using the accessible voting unit at the County elections office in Renton, open Mondays through Fridays, April 3-22, from 8:30am to 4:30pm, and election day, Tuesday, April 23, from 8:30am to 8pm.

New Washington voters can register to vote through April 15, but they must register at the County elections office in Renton. The deadline for previously registered Washington voters to change their voting addresses or for anyone to register on line or by mail was March 25.
