Description
It will be up to Seattle voters to decide this fall whether they're willing to pay a higher sales tax for transit improvements.
A measure headed to the November ballot would increase the city's transit sales tax to 0.3%, expanding transit services. The increase amounts to 30 cents for every $100 spent.
Seattle residents already pay one of the nation's highest combined sales tax rates at 10.55%, but supporters say the measure would expand transit service that many people rely on every day.
