Seattle voters in November will decide whether to approve a renewal and expansion of the Seattle Transit Measure — replacing the current 0.15% sales tax set to expire in March 2027 — doubling the rate to 0.3% for 10 years to fund King County Metro bus service, Seattle Streetcar operations, low-income ORCA passes, and transit infrastructure, projected to generate $1,380,000,000 over the life of the measure, with 100% directed to public transit.
