Sweet relief for Marysville School District in Valentine's Day election

MARYSVILLE — Voters showed the Marysville School District some love this Valentine’s Day.

After two days of ballot counting the results of a special election on Feb. 14, a multi-year property tax to pay for school programs and operations was leading 54.8% to 45.17%, with more than nearly 12,000 votes counted. If the majority “yes” votes hold in later counts, the district can celebrate passing what school leaders called the “most critical levy” in the district’s history.

Voters were also approving renewal of a transportation sales tax in Arlington and supporting a seven-member commission to govern Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue.
