BALLOT TITLE
PROPOSITION NO. 1
Shall the area of unincorporated King County contiguous to the City of Shoreline and commonly known as Annexation Area A-3, which is legally described in King County Ordinance No. 13243 and City of Shoreline Resolution No. 146, be annexed to and become a part of the City of Shoreline?

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT:
If Proposition No. 1 is approved, the area known as Annexation Area A-3, located in unincorporated King County contiguous to the City of Shoreline, will become part of the City of Shoreline. The proposed annexation will be approved if a majority of the votes cast are in favor of annexation.

STATEMENT FOR
VOTE YES TO JOIN SHORELINE!

Some years ago the City of Seattle set aside $25,000 to study the feasibility of annexing the Shoreline District. This Area extended from the Shoreline of Puget Sound to the Shoreline of Lake Washington; and from city limit to county line. This brought great panic. Our school district would be absorbed into the behemoth south of us.

And Vision Shoreline came into being.

And the Growth Management Act (GMA) came into being.

September, 1994, we went to the polls to vote. We had no vote. Another, already existing, incorporated town had chosen to designate a large part of Shoreline as its Proposed Annexation Area.

Since 1994, we have fought to vote our choice. Several polls based on house to house canvassing have all told the same story. We still want to annex to Shoreline.

We do not want to be a buffer to separate Lake Forest Park from the grosser elements of the district. Nor do we wish to give up our tax and revenue base for the support of LFP. Area "A" has been trimmed down to a smaller Area "A-3."

Now it is time to cut to the chase and vote. Stop the nonsense and VOTE YES TO SHORELINE.

Please, do vote. Vote yes.
