The King County Council voted Tuesday to send a $1.25 billion behavioral health levy to voters for consideration on an April special election ballot.
The proposal, which would raise the funds through a property tax levy spread over nine years, would fund:
- creation of five regional crisis care centers,
- the preservation and restoration of residential treatment beds,
- growth of the behavioral health workforce pipeline, and
- provide immediate services while centers are being constructed.
In 2024, the levy will cost the owner of a median-valued home about $121.
With council approval, the proposal will now appear on the April 25 special election ballot
