The initial election night results posted on the King County Elections website showed a shortfall for Kent School District bonds and a thumbs up to the Kent Regional Fire Authority benefit charge.
The Kent School District proposition for capital improvement and school construction general obligation bonds for $252,000,000 was falling short of the needed 60 percent approval. The results were 58 percent approval and 42 percent no.
