Stanwood voters embrace sales tax to pay for street work

STANWOOD — Voters had a chance this month to reduce Stanwood’s sales tax a tiny bit.

They overwhelmingly said no.

With nearly every ballot in the Nov. 8 election counted, a measure to renew a 0.2% transportation sales tax is passing with 65.2%. Overall, 2,102 residents backed Proposition 1 and 1,123 opposed as of Monday’s tally.

“We are very grateful to our voters who spoke strongly in favor of having good streets and sidewalks,” Mayor Sid Roberts said in an email response to questions.
