🚒 ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT 🚒

Whatcom County Councilmember Stremler is standing with your North Whatcom and Whatcom County Fire District 1 firefighters and encouraging voters to do the same by supporting the Fire District Levy Lid Lifts:

"As a county council member, I see levies that provide basic essential services and those that don't. This is one I can support and encourage voters to also. This will ensure we all get timely quality response when needed the most."

- Councilmember Stremler

Thank you, Councilmember, for supporting timely, quality emergency response for our community.

"As your County Councilmember, I usually vote no on new and increased taxes because I believe protecting your family's budget is important.

I do that so when voters are asked to fund truly essential services, like our schools and our fire service, you have the financial capacity to support the things that make our community safe and strong.

That's why I'm supporting this fire levy, and ask you to as well. Our firefighters are there when we need them most, and I believe this is a worthwhile investment in the safety of our community."

When people choose where to live, access to emergency services is often a deciding factor. For Semiahmoo resident Guy Kelly and his wife, the presence of a nearby fire station was a key reason they chose to retire in the community. Like many residents, they were surprised to learn that the station they counted on to serve the area was never opened... because it was never staffed. ... See MoreSee Less

Could one tenth of a mile cost you 75% more on insurance? It happened to Semiahmoo resident and former insurance agent Delia Albertstein. Her premium jumped 75% in a year with no claims, because mapping software placed her home just past the five-mile mark from the nearest fire station, where insurance ratings spike. Fire District 21's rating has slipped from a 4 to a 6 as our community outgrew its funding. The proposed Levy Lid Lift would fund more first responders, new equipment, and a fourth station. ...
