61.5 percent of voters saying yes. <\/a><\/p>\n“This approval not only strengthens Renton Regional Fire Authority’s funding; it fortifies fire protection and life safety service to the community,” the department said in a statement. “We extend our deepest thanks to all of those who voted in the August Primary Election. Your support of Proposition 1 fortifies our shared commitment to public safety. Thank you for standing with us as we continue toward our vision of a safer, healthier, and stronger Renton community.”<\/p>\n
According to Renton Regional Fire Authority, one of the most significant milestones that this approval sets in motion is the replacement of Fire Station 16 with a new 50-year station.<\/p>\n
“This is a defining moment for Renton that exemplifies the trust and support we share as a community,” Fire Chief Steve Heitman said in a statement. “We are incredibly grateful for every vote that made Proposition 1 a reality. It affirms our path forward - maintaining a high level of service as community growth continues and rebuilding Fire Station 16 for the future, all while minimizing the financial impact of the measure on taxpayers. This is a shared effort for all of Renton, and together, we are making it a safer place to call home.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
