西雅图市长 Harrell 签署 2026 年预算成法：总额 89 亿美元，保障房投入 3.495 亿美元创纪录
美国华盛顿州金县 Seattle 市消息：西雅图市长 Bruce Harrell 本周签署 2026 年度市政预算成法，预算总额 89 亿美元，其中普通基金约 20 亿美元。该预算上周获市议会全票通过，是 Seattle 自 2013 年以来第一份全票通过的预算。
预算保留了市长提案的主要优先事项：可负担住房投入 3.495 亿美元，为该市历来最大规模；无家可归应对投入 2.285 亿美元，维持收容容量并新增协助车居者进入收容与住房的项目；食品投入 5320 万美元，Fresh Bucks 食品券计划规模翻倍，并增拨食品银行、供餐计划与农贸市场。
教育方面，预算延续「家庭、教育、学前与承诺」税（FEPP），六年投入 13 亿美元，扩大可负担托儿名额、加强校园青少年心理健康支持，并为公立学校毕业生提供免学费大学教育。预算同时纳入第 2 号提案的企业占税（B&O）改革，预计新增约 8100 万美元收入，同时为全市 90% 的中小企业减税。
公共安全方面，预算拨款 2600 万美元支持创纪录的警察招募，今年以来已新聘逾 150 名警员、年底预计达 170 名；另拨 950 万美元，将社区危机响应部门 CARE 的响应员人数翻倍，并为 911 接警中心增聘调度员。针对联邦资金削减的风险，预算预留 2760 万美元专项资金，用于补足收容与住房券、供餐与租金援助等基本服务，并完整保留「雨具日基金」（应急储备金）。移民与难民社区服务获 1080 万美元，包括法律支持与「了解你的权利」培训。
Harrell 表示，这份预算是 Seattle 价值观的体现，在联邦层面充满不确定性之际，市政府正加紧保护居民依赖的本地项目，并作出该市历史上最大的可负担住房投资。市议会预算委员会主席、议员 Dan Strauss 表示，预算在住房、可负担性与公共安全上作出创纪录投入，并感谢市长团队促成十多年来第一份全票预算。
Seattle Mayor Harrell Signs 2026 Budget Into Law: $8.9 Billion Total With a Record $349.5 Million for Affordable Housing
SEATTLE, King County, Washington — Mayor Bruce Harrell signed the City of Seattle's 2026 budget into law this week, totaling $8.9 billion in appropriations overall and $2.0 billion toward General Fund priorities. The budget passed the City Council unanimously last week, the first unanimous city budget since 2013.
The final budget preserves the mayor's key priorities: a record $349.5 million investment in affordable housing; $228.5 million for homelessness response, maintaining shelter capacity and adding help for people living in vehicles; and $53.2 million for food access, doubling the Fresh Bucks program and adding funding for food banks, meal programs and farmers markets.
On education, the budget renews the Families, Education, Preschool, and Promise (FEPP) levy, investing $1.3 billion over six years to double access to affordable childcare, expand youth mental health supports in schools and provide tuition-free college for public school graduates. It also includes Proposition 2, a Business and Occupation tax rewrite expected to raise about $81 million in new revenue while reducing taxes paid by 90 percent of Seattle's small and medium-sized businesses.
For public safety, the budget provides $26 million to keep up with record police hiring — more than 150 officers hired so far this year, with 170 expected by year's end — and $9.5 million to double the CARE department's community crisis responders and add 911 dispatchers. A $27.6 million investment plan safeguards services threatened by federal funding cuts, including shelter and housing vouchers, meal programs and rental assistance, and the budget fully preserves the city's Rainy Day Fund. Immigrant and refugee services receive $10.8 million, including legal supports and Know Your Rights trainings.
Mayor Harrell said the budget is an affirmation of Seattle's values at a time when federal uncertainty makes local leadership more important than ever, and includes the largest investment in affordable housing in the city's history. Councilmember Dan Strauss, chair of the Select Budget Committee, said the budget makes record-high investments in housing, affordability and public safety and led to the first unanimous budget in over a decade.
