'We need more buildings': Lake Stevens to try same $314M school bond
LAKE STEVENS — Following the narrow failure of a school bond in November, the Lake Stevens School District is planning to try again.
The bond is for the same amount — $314 million. In November, it received 58.34%, just short of the 60% needed to pass.
The district said increased growth and better interest rates mean less taxpayer impact. About 2,000 homes are either under construction or planned within the community, the district states on its bond webpage. Additionally, district projections call for another 13,000 residents in Lake Stevens over the next five years.

The election will take place Feb. 11.
