Oregon Historical Society levy easily approved May 18 2021
In Multnomah County, 78.5% of voters are backing the levy to operate the downtown museum and four smaller societies.
Multnomah County voters overwhelmingly approved the five-year local option levy for the Oregon Historical Society in the Tuesday, May 18, special election.
By Wednesday morning, the vote for Measure 26-221 was 78.5% yes. When it last was renewed in 2016, the levy was approved with 71% of the vote. It was first approved in 2011 with 69%.
The passage was good news for the society, whose downtown Portland museum and research library has been repeatedly vandalized during protests that turn violent.
