By State law, cities in Washington are required to maintain a balanced budget. How does Shoreline make sure expenses do not exceed income? How much of your taxes, both property and sales, go into the City budget? Join Meng Liu, the City’s Budget and Tax Manager, for an informative and engaging presentation.

Contest: Learn About the City Budget and Win!

• The current local sales tax rate is 10.3%.
