TODAY: Mayor Harrell Signs Legislation Sending Seattle’s Transformative Education Levy to Voters
Seattle – Today, Mayor Bruce Harrell will join Councilmember Maritza Rivera and education leaders to sign legislation that will place the Families, Education, Preschool, and Promise (FEPP) levy on Seattle voters’ ballots in November 2025.
In April, Mayor Harrell announced his Every Child Ready initiative, which included the renewal of the FEPP levy with a focus on doubling access to affordable childcare, expanding mental health and student safety services in schools, and creating a new career pathway to enter skilled trades. The levy proposal was unanimously approved by the City Council last week.
