Proposition 1 (2018)
Replacement Maintenance and Operations Levy

North Kitsap Fire & Rescue (NKF&R) placed a measure on the November general election ballot that appears to be earning voter approval.  The new measure will replace two expiring taxes, and  help the district to maintain current levels of service by providing necessary resources to fund both operations and capital needs.
