Lake Stevens School bond: Vote yes for students’ needs

I urge everyone to vote to approve Proposition 1, the Lake Stevens School District bond, by Nov. 5. Our students deserve safe, healthy and modern learning environments that help them thrive.

This bond isn’t just about new buildings; it’s about creating secure and innovative spaces where all students can prepare for their future. The bond will fund two new schools, renovate three aging ones, improve athletic fields that can be used year-round and in the evenings to meet the increasing community need.

Please invest in a brighter future for our children and our community by voting YES on the Lake Stevens School District bond.
