Port Ludlow voters approve merger with East Jefferson Fire Rescue | 2022 General Election

Posted
Port Ludlow voters have approved Jefferson County Fire Protection District No. 3's  Proposition 1 to merge Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue with East Jefferson Fire Rescue.
 
A toal of 2,571 votes have been cast in favor so far, a whopping 87.6 percent of those counted, with only 364 votes rejecting the measure, or 12.4 percent of the total 2,935 votes as of 8 p.m. Nov. 8.

With approval, Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue will be dissolved and East Jefferson Fire Rescue’s boundaries will expand to cover that area. The existing commissioners of both districts will govern the merged district until the number of commissioners is reduced according to law.

Only voters within the boundary of Jefferson County Fire Protection District No. 3 were able to vote on Proposition 1.
