Description
New fees, tougher penalties, and tenant-union negotiations could be coming to Tacoma as early election results show voters embracing Initiative Measure 1, which is also referred to as “Safe Homes for All.”
The sweeping tenant-rights measure surged ahead on election night, with early results showing it is supported by more than 59% of Tacoma voters. That is a margin of more than 10,000 votes, but more ballots remain to be tallied.
“I'm very optimistic that it is a clear win for tenants in Tacoma," said Kiss’Shonna Curtis, chair of Tacoma for All, which sponsored the measure.
