View Drive, Shelton, WA 98584 / By NATALIE JOHNSON In November 2010 vot- ers in Mason County Fire Protection District 9 failed to pass the district's EMS levy, which was 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed property. In February 2011, the district ran the levy again, and again the voters turned it down. "In February if we would have had 30 more 'yes' votes it would have passed," said district 9 Assistant Chief and district commissioner A1 Leister. Hoping that the third time will be the charm, dis- trict 9 is running the levy again for this year's August primary election.
