Fire district/city annexation moves forward

The City of Lacey and Fire District 3 have begun the educational campaign they hope will give voters enough information to vote for annexation on April 27.

According to chair of  Lacey District 3 Fire Commission Skip Houser, both the city’s website and the district’s website have information regarding the annexation.  

 In addition, Lacey Mayor Tom Nelson and Houser will be meeting with the editorial board of The Olympian on March 31.

Houser also said that a bill to exclude city residents from double taxation is making its way through the legislature.  It has passed the Senate and was sent to the House where is passed out of committee.

A citizens group in support of annexation has created a website – – yesbettertogether.org  where those still on the fence can get more information.
