To the Citizens of Federal Way, Des Moines, and the area of unincorporated King County that we serve:

I personally wish to thank the entire community that South King Fire & Rescue serves for their ongoing support during our 2007 Levy Lid Lift election. The citizens residing within the City of Federal Way, the City of Des Moines, and those within the area of unincorporated King County that we serve once again have supported our fire and emergency service efforts by overwhelmingly supporting our lid lift ballot measure.

We are once again very humbled by the incredible support we received in the primary election. That support equates to maintaining our tax levy so that we can continue to fund our emergency operations at the level that you have come to expect, and more importantly deserve.

So, once again, thank you for your support for the seventh year in a row. We pledge to continue to be there when you need us, and we thank you for being there when we needed you!
