Measure 3-635 Passing In Early Results - 05/20/26

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. — Lake Oswego voters have approved Measure 3-635 in preliminary elections results, authorizing investment in a new South Shore Fire Station to support emergency response, firefighter safety, and long-term community needs.

 

“Thank you to our incredible community. The results reflect our community’s commitment to public safety and to the firefighters who serve Lake Oswego every day. This new station will allow us to continue delivering timely emergency response while improving health, safety, and working conditions for our crews,” said Mayor Joe Buck.

 

Over 68% are supporting the measure in Election Day returns. These early results reflect strong community support for maintaining reliable emergency services and modern public safety infrastructure.

 

The new station will be designed to meet modern seismic standards, improve firefighter health and safety through updated decontamination areas, and support continued timely emergency response for every resident across Lake Oswego.

 

“Passage of Measure 3-635 ensures that our City can continue providing reliable emergency response today and for decades to come. This is a testament to the commitment between Lake Oswego community and our firefighters. By investing in this station, our community is building on a legacy of mutual support that will protect local families and our emergency crews for generations to come,” said Fire Chief Don Johnson.

 

The successful vote follows months of dedicated community engagement, informational workshops, and collaboration between the Fire Department and Lake Oswego community.

 

“We owe our deepest thanks to the South Shore Fire Station Task Force for laying the groundwork, to our voters for their trust, and to every community member who attended an open house, hosted a speaking event, or took the time to learn about our project and department. We are grateful to voters for their trust and support as this project moves forward,” said Assistant Fire Chief Kristine Artman.

 

Once the election is officially certified, the City will move forward with issuing bonds, final design, permitting, and construction of a new South Shore Fire Station.
