Port of Everett bid to expand boundaries to be on August ballot
EVERETT — It’s official. The Port of Everett’s quest to expand its boundaries will appear on the August primary ballot.

The measure needs a simple majority to pass.

An expanded port could include the entire county, excluding the Port of Edmonds, the city of Edmonds and town of Woodway.
If voters approve, property owners within the new boundary would pay port taxes. Property owners within the Everett port district currently pay about 19 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Residents with a home valued at $550,000 pay about $100 a year in taxes.
