Futurewise Opposes Initiative 985

Document Actions
This election, Futurewise and the environmental community are joined together in opposing Tim Eyman’s latest initiative to undermine our state’s budget and prevent the opportunity for real transportation solutions in our region.

Click here to find out what I-985 really means for Washington.  

The bottom line is that Initiative 985 does not invest in alternative transportation options, benefit rural Washington, encourage the development of livable, walkable communities, or help cut down on bumper to bumper traffic. Instead, it assaults our quality of life with a thoughtless and disastrous “more lanes good!” approach.  Vote “NO” on this dead end initiative.
