— from Milene Henley, County Auditor —
Ballots for the February 9 election were mailed to San Juan County voters earlier this week. A typographical error has been found on ballots which went to voters in the Orcas Island School District.
In the ballot title for Orcas Island School District’s Proposition No. 1, three columns show the year, levy rate, and levy amount proposed. The title of the middle column reads:
“Approximate Levy Rate/$1,0000 Assessed Value”
It should read:
“Approximate Levy Rate/$1,000 Assessed Value”
All rate amounts and levy amounts are correct as printed.
If you have questions about the ballot, please contact the San Juan County Elections Office (360-378-3357) or the San Juan County Auditor (360-370-7558).

Given the rising popularity of neoconservatism, I’m used to seeing a lot of zeroes on ballots these days!
