The King County tax measure on the Tuesday special-election ballot continues to be passing in votes counted Thursday.

The levy would provide money for replacing the county's emergency public-safety radio network.

Votes counted Thursday showed the passage margin increasing to 65.4%-34.6%, up from 65.2%-34.8% Wednesday and 65.0%-35.0% Tuesday.

County officials had counted ballots from nearly 25 percent of King County registered voters through Thursday.

Totals included 17,615 ballots counted Thursday.
