# Issaquah City Council Meeting October 12, 2026

The Issaquah City Council held a special meeting on October 12, 2026, to consider Ordinance No. 3155, adopting a 0.01% sales and use tax authorized by RCW 82.14.542. The tax follows King County’s adoption of the measure and is intended to direct locally collected proceeds back to Issaquah for additional services supporting children and families. The City Administrator estimated revenue of approximately $250,000 in 2027 if collection begins January 1. The Council adopted the ordinance; the transcript does not provide a vote tally.

Staff said a spending proposal would return to Council on October 26 for consideration with the 2027–28 budget. The administration is considering support for vetted local nonprofits, potentially through a grant process or amendments to contracts planned for 2027–28; The Garage was mentioned as a possible organization, not as a selected recipient. Staff also noted the funds must expand services rather than replace existing funding, and said the City would communicate that the local action directs proceeds back to Issaquah. No vendor selection or contract award was made at this meeting.
