Expand the Port of Everett's boundaries? Voters must decide

The port boundaries, set in 1918, cover Everett, as well as portions of Mukilteo, Marysville and unincorporated Snohomish County.

Property owners within the current port district pay 18.8 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. Homes valued at $550,000 pay about $100 in annual taxes to the port.
