About the levy

In the Nov. 6 general election, voters are being asked to approve a $60 million levy.

The money will help rebuild FWHS, improve playground equipment at Federal Way elementary schools, and help standardize the district’s security camera systems.

In the Feb. 14 special election, Federal Way residents said no to the levy in a 55-45 percent split.

The remodeling of Federal Way High School is the district’s top priority as far as construction projects. The district has already saved $50 million for the project, which has a total estimated cost of $110 million.

The district says this capital levy will be less costly to taxpayers because there will be no interest payments involved. The school district anticipates the tax rate for the capital levy would be 90 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value.

Leading up the November election, Federal Way Public Schools will hold forums and conversations with various sectors of the community.
