The City of Kent has proposed annexing the Panther Lake area, which is approximately five square miles in size. This area has approximately 24,000 residents.
This Annexation requires a simple majority vote. As of the 4:19 PM count on November 4, the “yes” votes were holding strong at 62.09%.
King County will continue to update results each week day at 4:30 PM. Click here for annexation results.
Assuming these numbers hold, Panther Lake area will officially become part of the City of Kent on July 1, 2010.
The City of Kent has a detailed explanation of the history and effect of the annexation which can be found at http://www.ci.kent.wa.us/annexation/page.aspx?id=8934.
