King County voters in November will decide on a six-year levy proposal to continue funding the Medic One/Emergency Medical Service program.

The Medic One system handles all 9-1-1 emergency calls throughout King County and provides emergency medical services countywide. The levy proposal would generate up to $1.4 billion through 2031\. The current levy expires at the end of this year. The system has been supported by a property tax levy since 1979 and has passed nearly every time it has come up for renewal.

November’s ballot measure would set the maximum levy rate at $0.250 per $1,000 of assessed value, or $211 a year for a home assessed at the median of $844,000\. The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 4.
