The King Conservation District is one of these little known public agencies that collects property tax dollars and spends it, but most voters hear or know little about it, let alone know that 3 of the 5 commissioners are publicly elected. The election this year is today, Tuesday March 16, 2010. You can only vote in person at one of 7 library sites in King County from 10:30 AM to 8 PM. The Seattle Public Library location is only open until 7:30 PM.
Voting information is as follows from the King Conservation District website:
All registered voters who reside within the District boundaries are eligible to vote in the election. District boundaries include all of King County, except the cities of Federal Way, Enumclaw, Skykomish, Milton and Pacific.
