Seattle Voters Decide Transit Tax | Seattle News

Seattle voters will decide this November whether to approve a 0.3% sales tax hike to fund transit upgrades—adding 30 cents to every $100 spent. Supporters say it’ll boost service frequency and reliability, especially off-peak and overnight, helping daily riders. But critics argue the city should first reassess its budget and priorities before raising taxes, as Seattle already has a high sales tax rate. The measure heads to the ballot after the mayor’s approval, pitting transit needs against rising living costs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
