Jefferson County voters approved a parks and recreation levy on August 6, 2026, with property owners now required to pay $0.21 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The levy, which passed after voters approved it, will provide funding for county parks and recreation facilities. The measure required a simple majority vote to pass, unlike the Clallam County EMS levy that needed a supermajority and was rejected. The Jefferson County Parks and Recreation Levy will now fund facility maintenance and programming, with the next election for county positions scheduled for November 2026.
