🚧 Redondo Parking Lot Update

During this week’s paving work, equipment that operates the parking lot entrance gates was damaged. Until repairs can be completed, the gate arms will remain open and the Redondo parking lot will be accessible 24/7.

Repairs to part of the gate system are already scheduled for next week, weather permitting, and we are working to get the remaining equipment repaired or replaced as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience as we work through this unexpected issue!

🚧 REDONDO PARKING LOT UPDATE 🚧

Good news — the grinding and asphalt overlay work at the Redondo Parking Lot is wrapping up! 🎉

The contractor is scheduled to complete this phase of the project today, September 10, with the parking lot reopening by 6:00 p.m.

🌧️ But Mother Nature had other plans for the next phase! Due to the weather, the remaining work has been rescheduled:

📅 Tuesday, September 15 – Sealcoating
📅 Monday, September 21 – Final Striping

🚫 The Redondo Parking Lot will be CLOSED on both September 15 and September 21 while this work is completed.

As always, these dates are weather dependent and may need to shift again.

Thanks for your patience as we give the Redondo parking lot a much-needed refresh! 🚗✨

BUDGET 101: Where Does Your Property Tax Dollar Go?

Property taxes are expensive — but did you know the City of Des Moines receives only a small portion of what you pay?

For every $1 in property taxes, only about 7¢ comes to the City of Des Moines. The rest goes to schools, King County, the Fire District, libraries, Sound Transit and other taxing districts.

Put another way: If your annual property tax bill is $7,500, only about $500 of that comes to the City.

That small slice helps fund the City services you see and use every day — including police, parks and recreation, and other essential City operations.

Where does the other 93¢ go? Take a look at the graphic to see how your property tax dollar is divided.
