Fire District Needs Bond for Growth | Seattle News

Lacey Fire District 3 is seeking voter approval for a $98.3 million bond to bridge a growing funding gap caused by state-imposed limits on property tax revenue. With operating costs capped at just 1% annual growth while equipment and infrastructure costs rise 3-4% yearly, the district can’t keep up with modernization needs. Bonds offer a targeted solution — funding only capital projects like new stations and gear — without touching salaries or daily operations. Think of it as a dedicated renovation fund for your home, where your regular paycheck can’t cover big-ticket items. Voters will get a detailed breakdown of planned projects before the November vote.
