“After 10 years, we finally have a tool that we can take to the voters. Ideally we will be able to provide families and young people in King County with an opportunity to connect with local arts, science and heritage activities regardless of family income levels, social status or education. It will also provide programs to meet our affordable housing and mental health challenges. Passage of 2263 is a first step toward realizing a dream of equal access to these opportunities for all the citizens of King County.”
