EVERETT — The Snohomish County Auditor’s Office will begin mailing ballots Thursday for the February special election, when voters will decide on a litany of levy and bond measures across the county.

Bond measures provide school districts with upfront funds for use in capital construction projects. They’re paid off over time by property taxes and require a 60% supermajority to pass. Local levies provide ongoing funding for educational programs that aren’t funded by the state, usually extracurriculars, sports, support staff and paraeducators, among other uses. Levies require a simple majority for approval.

Here are the measures that will be on ballots in the county. The special election is Feb. 10.
