Lake Stevens schools bond leading early; Arlington voters reject latest levy attempt
ARLINGTON — A school bond in Lake Stevens was passing after initial returns in Tuesday’s special election while an Arlington schools levy appeared headed for defeat.
Only two issues were in front of Snohomish County voters, the Lake Stevens School District bond and an Arlington School District levy to build a new middle school.
Early numbers showed 60.7% of voters approving the $314 million Lake Stevens measure. In Arlington, the $75 million levy was failing 57.4% to 42.6%. The Lake Stevens bond needs over 60% of voters to say yes while the Arlington measure needs a simple majority.
Voter turnout was 25.3% in the initial drop, with a little over 15,000 total votes cast.
