King County Elections released the final certified results yesterday for the special election.
Redmond’s Proposition 1 failed with a “no” percentage of 53.07 (4,089 votes) and a “yes” percentage of 46.93 (3,616 votes). Proposition 2 failed with a “no” percentage of 54.03 (4,168 votes) and a “yes” percentage of 45.97 (3,546 votes).
Both propositions needed a simple majority to pass.
Proposition 1 addressed public safety, infrastructure and walkability. The measure would have cost about $18.13 million over the course of six years — just a bit more than $3 million per year.
Proposition 2 — a six-year, $6.9 million levy — focused on capital projects in the parks department and parks maintenance.
