The Seattle KingCounty Realtors have endorsed the $404 million bond measure to fund various construction-related projects for schools in the Lake Washington District. The issue is on the April 22 ballot.

The organization had earlier endorsed the $755 million school construction bond measure on the Feb. 11 ballot, which failed to get the necessary 60 percent approval margin.

“Realtors know high caliber schools are important in every neighborhood,” said Larry Christensen, the 2014 president of the realty group. Christensen lives in the district. “It’s not just families with school-age kids who are concerned about good schools. The quality of schools is a factor when pricing homes when they are listed for sale.”

If the proposed $404 million bond measure passes, the increase to taxpayers will be 25 cents per thousand dollars of assessed value of their property.
