Snoqualmie ballot measure Proposition 1 will pass, according to early primary election day vote results.

Preliminary results after 8 p.m. Aug. 6 show of the 1,724 total votes counted so far, 66% voted yes.

As previously reported by the Snoqualmie Valley Record, the proposition will require all retail sales customers — residents and non-resident visitors — to pay an extra $0.01 per $10 spent on taxable goods and services within Snoqualmie, effective January 2025.

The city wrote on its website that the 0.1% increase would generate around $226,000 annually for public safety-related costs, including attracting, retaining, training and equipping employees.

Snoqualmie shoppers now pay a 9.1% sales tax, of which 6.5% goes to the state, 1.25% to the city of Snoqualmie and 1.35% to King County.

Of the 0.1% increase — bumping the total to 9.2% — Snoqualmie would retain 85%, and the county would use 15%.

Official election results will be certified on Aug. 20.
