KC Prop 1 will accelerate our County’s ability to protect what makes our region the best place to live.
By restoring the Local Conservation Futures program to its original rate, we can protect mature forests, improve habitat for native salmon, strengthen our local food economy, provide more recreational opportunities, and ensure more equitable access to the outdoors.
Let’s produce climate solutions by protecting our natural environment.
Vote YES on KC Prop 1!ABOUT KC PROP 1
Executive Constantine launched the Land Conservation Initiative in 2016, convening a regional partnership of communities, cities, farmers, businesses, and environmental leaders to protect 65,000 acres of the highest conservation-value open space.
The initiative is off to a strong start, but without adequate funding now, King County and partners will miss the best opportunities to protect open spaces.
A Yes on KC Prop 1 restores the local Conservation Futures Program to its original rate – less than $2 more per month for the average homeowner.

Why can't we take care of the parks we have? Buying more park space is like buying more space for crack addicts. As a woman, I can no longer even walk around Greenlake without being hassled by some crazy guy. I have to be super careful. The parks we already have are falling apart! This is the worst idea bureaucrats and rich people who can.afford to spend $1000 in home owner taxes have thought up yet. Rich, white men thought up this idea without consulting women. Women are scared to walk in the psrks we already have. Why buy more park space for drug users? Why not use the money we already have to clean the parks we already own? Say no to more parks for drug users.
"In practical terms, approving Prop 1 will refresh a property tax the county uses to buy up land to preserve urban green spaces, forests, rivers, trails, and farmlands forever."

"What is the price of a pine forest, a salmon-bearing stream, or a tree-lined park in a city? Many of these places have a dollar amount attached to them, but when you compare this to the price of rising temperatures, these areas are priceless in the value they bring to future generations."
