What it costs you
We cannot calculate what this measure costs a household. That figure needs the levy rate per thousand dollars of assessed value, and the result export does not carry it — it records how people voted, not what they were voting on. We will not estimate it: a wrong number on a household tax bill is worse than no number. The rate is published in the county assessor’s levy certification and in the voters’ pamphlet for the election.

The case for and against
Printed in the county voters’ pamphlet and mailed to every voter in the jurisdiction. Written by committees the jurisdiction appointed, and reproduced here exactly as they wrote them.
Statement in favor
Written by Ray Kusumi, Jacqueline Connell, Joshua Sieck
The Capital/Technology Replacement Levy is vital for our students and educators, renewing the crucial funding approved in 2022 for the next four years, through 2030. With state basic education funding falling short for classroom technology and school maintenance, this levy ensures our schools remain equipped for success. By voting for this measure, you support essential needs such as updated devices for students and staff, improved internet access at home and school, and enhanced cybersecurity. This funding will also provide assistive technology for students with special education needs and the technicians required for maintaining our equipment. Importantly, this levy does not introduce a new tax; it simply renews an expiring initiative that has proven its value. Since 2016, our local tax rate has decreased by 36%, showcasing our commitment to responsible financial management while still prioritizing education. Your vote for the Capital/Technology Replacement Levy is a vote for our children’s future—ensuring they have the tools and support needed to thrive in a digital world. Let’s come together to invest in the education our students deserve!
Statement in opposition
There is no statement against this measure. Nobody in the jurisdiction came forward to serve on the committee that would have written one.
Neither statement is fact-checked, by the county or by us. King County Elections prints these as the committees submit them and does not correct punctuation, grammar, or accuracy. They are arguments, not findings. We reproduce them because they are what voters were sent, and we take no position on the claims in either one.

Who is funding each side
Political committees registered with the Public Disclosure Commission that named this proposition number when they formed.
No committee named this proposition number. We searched PDC committee filings for proposition 2 in 2025 and found none. That can mean no committee formed, or that one formed without naming the number — the filings do not distinguish the two.

What this county has asked before
Other school measures put to King County voters. Matched on county and measure kind — the results export carries no jurisdiction key, so these are comparable measures rather than provably the same body asking again.

What this page will not compute
Each of these is a number a reader might reasonably expect. None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.
- What it costs a household
- Requires the levy rate per thousand of assessed value, which the results export does not carry. Stated above rather than estimated.
- Whether the money decided it
- We can show what each side raised and what the vote was. Connecting the two would be an inference about cause from two numbers, and campaign spending is not the only thing that moves a local levy.
- Whether this is the same body asking again
- Earlier measures are matched on county and kind, not on jurisdiction — the export has no jurisdiction key. A school district and its neighbour both appear as school measures in the same county.
- What the measure would have done
- The ballot title and the full text are not loaded. We hold the result, not the proposal.

Common questions
- Did Renton School District No. 403 Proposition No. 2 — King County 2025 pass?
-
Yes, it passed. 67% voted yes on 25,942 votes cast.
- Which Proposition 2 is this?
-
Proposition 2 on the 2025 ballot in King County, Washington. Several different measures can carry the same number on one county ballot, so the year, the county and the body asking are all needed to identify one.
- Where do these results come from?
-
The Washington Secretary of State’s certified election results. We publish the certified canvass, not election-night returns.
- Why is there no argument for or against here?
-
Washington publishes committee-written for and against statements for most local measures. We have not ingested them. Showing one side without the other would be worse than showing neither.
