This open letter to acting King County Executive Shannon Braddock is to the point for the citizens of King County!
Dear Executive Shannon Braddock,
I am writing as a deeply concerned Washington State resident and business owner in King County to formally object to your recent announcement that King County will be filing suit against the Trump administration over alleged unlawful conditions attached to previously approved federal grant funding.

With the passage into law, and Ferguson's signature, HB 1858 along with HB 1696 has created a costly special interests program with yet to be proven results. Never let a good idea go to waste takes on new overtones. The Covenant Homeownership Program has not yet yielded results, but has taken a lot of revenue from the pockets of Washingtonians.

Rumor has it excessive property tax increases bills are off the table, according to the Washington State Standard. Color me skeptical, but I see there is one property tax increase bill waiting a turn on the Senate Floor Calendar, as of this writing the afternoon of April 21st, SB 5798 quietly rests on a floor calendar which currently holds 13 bills. I won't rest till these folks in the legislature all go home to plan how to pick one's pocket in future sessions. Til then I do not trust the notion that bills are off the table.

Call your legislator, sign in with your position, or call 1 800 562 6000 to make sure your legislators realize the impact of the extreme property taxation proposed! In my conversations with people around the state, I have found not a single soul supporting this bill. Many have expressed to me the fears of losing their home, and their one most important life time investment. Many have expressed their anger and frustration at the lack of representation, and of simply being ignored by the majority party seen as policy chasing and not caring about the impact to individuals.
West Seattle this is how your state senator operates. Is she representing you or herself?
This is why HB 1217 should be pulled from the floor and not receive a floor vote!
Call the legislative hotline 800 562 6000!
UPDATE 4/10/25
Sadly the senate passed HB 1217 off the floor this afternoon. The level of impropriety the majority party will tolerate to achieve the ends justifies the means is intollerable.

With a record breaking and resounding NO! Washingtonians signed in CON to tax bills, especially the property tax bill with 43,151 signing in CON to OPPOSE property tax increases.
But even that clear, unequivical, massive response has not swayed the tone deaf money grabbers in Olympia!
Here are tax bills that will be heard April 3rd that will try and impose draconian taxation on Washingtonians. You must keep up the fight and sign in to register your opposition and provide testimony!

These are sad times when elected senators become so enamored of their policies and programs that they are willing to tax people to this extreme degree and cause rents to increase as for renters. This bill will harm and increase housing issues such as availability and affordability. Some people will be taxed out of their homes!
CAPR members, friends, supporters, you must sign in on Senate Bill 5798 and oppose the bill designed to escalate your property taxes annually!

If you have a home, you may not soon if the Washington State legislative majority party has their way.
If you do not yet own a home, the Washington State legislative majority party will make it much more difficult for you to save to have a home.
