‘Tax me more’: Curley mocks Katie Wilson’s $1.3B levy for day care, education as council skips voter approval

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is proposing a $1.3 billion levy for education and child care, funded through property taxes that would add roughly $600 annually on a median Seattle home. The Seattle City Council is expected to approve it without voter ballot approval. While this is regional news, it doesn’t directly affect Burien governance or services, though South King County renters may see similar affordability discussions emerge locally.
