Seattle voters will decide on a ballot measure that would increase the city sales tax to keep existing bus routes operating and to finance more frequent service, adding extra late‑night and weekend trips in select neighborhoods.
The proposal is part of the city's broader effort to consider a sales‑tax increase aimed at expanding public‑transit service across Seattle.
