The Maple Valley City Council voted Jan. 12 to express support for two Tahoma School District ballot measures set for the Feb. 10, 2026 special election. Council adopted Resolution No. R-26-2034 supporting Proposition No. 1, which would replace an expiring educational programs and operations levy, and Resolution No. R-26-2035 supporting Proposition No. 2, a replacement technology capital projects levy. Both measures received unanimous 7-0 council support.
