Nearly two-thirds of voters backed a measure to keep the two-tenths of a percent sales tax for maintaining streets, sidewalks and more. STANWOOD — Voters had a chance this month to reduce Stanwood’s sales tax a tiny bit. With nearly every ballot in the Nov. 8 election counted, a measure to renew a 0.2% transportation sales tax is passing with 65.2%. Now, this sliver of retail sales tax that adds 20 cents to every $100 of spending will be in effect for another decade. The vote “validated what our citizens had told us, i.e they value good streets and sidewalks,” Roberts said.
