Seattle voters to weigh property tax increase for affordable housing ( www.seattletimes.com )
Seattle voters will weigh in this fall on whether to raise property taxes to fund affordable housing, higher wages for human services workers and assistance for middle-income homebuyers.
The Seattle City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to send the seven-year, $970 million housing levy renewal to the Nov. 7 ballot, when Seattleites will also vote on seven council seats.
