Tacoma to include multi-million dollar road funding measure on primary election ballot
TACOMA, Wash. — As the adage goes, if at first you don’t succeed, ask the voters again. That’s the perspective the Tacoma City Council is taking for funding roads across the city.
The new proposal, which the council passed to send to the August 4, 2026 ballot, continues taxes passed in 2015, a $0.20/ $1,000 of assessed value and a 1.5% utility earnings tax.
