Reminder: City seeks voter
approval to annex into the
Puget Sound Regional Fire
Authority on August 1, 2023
In tomorrow's August 1 primary election, the City of
Tukwila will ask voters to consider formally annexing
to the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority (Puget
Sound Fire) for fire and emergency medical
services. The proposition requires a simple majority
to pass.
Proposition 1 states:
Should the City of Tukwila be annexed into and be a
part of the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority to
maintain current fire and emergency medical
services levels, effective January 1, 2024, per City of
Tukwila Resolution No. 2070?
Effective January 1, 2023, the City of Tukwila began
contracting with Puget Sound Fire for Fire and
Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Prior to that, for
seven months a Community Advisory
Committee studied the future of fire and EMS in
Tukwila. They recommended the contract to serve as
a bridge to a potential full annexation into Puget
Sound Fire. The consensus of the Committee was that
annexation would both preserve Tukwila's high level
of Fire and EMS, and provide the ability to maintain
other services that are desired by the Tukwila
community.
Learn more about annexation to the Puget Sound RFA
on the City website and don't forget to vote in
tomorrow's election!
