## Resource

Lacey Fire District 3 is asking voters to approve a $98.3 million bond to keep up with explosive growth—projected to hit 130,000 residents by 2045. With more calls than any other Thurston County district and a commercial boom turning Hawks Prairie into a bustling hub, the area’s emergency services are stretched thin. Only one of their five stations lies north of I-5, creating a dangerous gap in coverage during disasters. The bond would fund a new station north of the freeway, relocate another, and build a training facility and warehouse—all to ensure fast, reliable response before demand overwhelms current resources. More details will be shared before the general election. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
