We Did It!

Vote Fairwood has conceded on their website that incorporation has been defeated. It took a ton of work by a whole bunch of dedicated people, but in the end, we won.

Incorporation proponents had twice as much money as we did, they had more time to prepare, and we won anyway. How did we do it? We worked extremely hard, and we told the truth. In the end, money and untrue scare tactics couldn't defeat hard work and the truth.

The public has now twice spoken on the issue of incorporation. We've made it abundantly clear that we do not want a city of Fairwood. I respect those on the other side who believed passionately in their cause. But it's now time to respect the will of the voters, and allow those of us that believe annexation is the best possible option for Fairwood to move forward. Let's get it done as quickly as possible, so we can become a part of a city that will allow us significantly higher service levels, while paying less in taxes. Let's choose Renton!

I already said it but I repeat, Congratulations on your deserving and successful "attempt" to stop incorporation. I have been accused of meddling where I do not have any business, but I repeat what I have said and that is, I have and will continue to support Choose Renton, this is because it is my opinion that annexing to Renton is your best chance at improving your life.
