text: Unfortunately, this is happening in ALL of King County.  I live in Renton but in the Issaquah School Dist.  My increase in property taxes will be higher compared to Bellevue.  Im retired and NOT a rich executive.  So go figure.  See chart in this article.  When I was looking to buy a home, Bellevue was too much for me.  It still is.
