Yakima Pasco Richland Kennewick, WA, October 21, 2026 —
A levy in Pendleton is seeking additional funding for fire and ambulance services, with the stated goals of hiring more staff, purchasing new equipment and completing necessary repairs.
The available information does not identify the amount of funding being sought or specify how the money would be divided among staffing, equipment and repairs. It also does not say who is proposing the levy, when it may be considered, or whether it has been approved. No election date, tax rate or other funding terms were provided.
The summary describes the requested funding as support for both fire and ambulance services, but it does not detail current staffing levels, the equipment involved or the repairs needed. It also does not provide estimates for the work or explain the services’ existing budgets. Those details were not included in the information provided.
The stated purposes outline the broad areas the levy would support, but the available summary does not establish a timeline for the proposed spending or indicate what would happen if the levy were not approved. Further specifics about the proposal, including its cost and status, are not available here.
For now, the information identifies three intended uses for the additional funding: staffing, equipment and repairs. It does not provide enough detail to determine the levy’s size, the process for considering it or the precise needs of the fire and ambulance services.
