Sometimes the benefits of being annexed by a neighboring city are not immediately clear. When the City of Kirkland closed our park at Juanita Beach and forgot to reopen it, for example, I failed to appreciate it. I was also puzzled when our garbage and recycling bins were taken away last week. But this week the bins were replaced with new ones, and they came with a surprise.
Taped up under one of the lids was a note that looked a lot like junk mail. It turned out to be important tax information with the following explanation:
Dear Finn Hill, North Juanita, and Kingsgate Resident,
You recently received a City Service Guide in the mail that we hope you find to be a helpful and useful resource. Unfortunately, the 2011 Property Tax Comparison on page 23 is incorrect; please replace it with the correct version shown below.
In other words, “We sent you inaccurate tax information by mail, so to make things right we are delivering the corrections to you in a garbage can.”
Makes sense to me.
