Yes! Kenmore

Kenmore Proposition 1 · November 3, 2026

Yes!

Building the Kenmore we love.

Proposition 1 protects what makes this town home — our shoreline and tree canopy, homes people can afford, and help for neighbors when they need it most.

What Prop 1 funds How to vote

Yes to climate action. Yes to affordable homes. Yes to human services. Yes, Kenmore.

One yes. Three promises.

Prop 1 funds three things Kenmore has committed to but can't sustain under a 1% revenue cap — while costs have grown five times faster.

  • Climate & Environment

    Cleaner energy and EV charging, tree planting and canopy care, salmon habitat and open space — and a community ready for the storms ahead.

  • Affordable Housing

    Keeps Kenmore in ARCH, East King County's housing coalition — funding the programs that help neighbors find, afford, and stay in local homes.

  • Human Services

    Backs the local agencies helping families, seniors, and youth with food, housing, transportation, health care, and education.

Kenmore says Yes.

Local leaders, neighbors, and organizations voting yes on Proposition 1.

On a fixed income? You may be exempt.
