Background

The Board of Fire Commissioners of Lewis County Fire Protection District No. 6 placed this levy lid lift on the ballot by Resolution No. 2026-2, according to the ballot language.

According to the Lewis County Assessor, the district's certified 2026 regular levy budget is $1,763,677.60, which works out to about $0.793 per $1,000 of assessed value; the proposition would set the rate at $1.15 per $1,000 for taxes collected in 2027.

The Assessor notes this is a permanent lid lift: the 2027 collection would become the base for calculating future levy limits under chapter 84.55 RCW rather than resetting to today's amount.
