The Record reported earlier this month that City of Langley officials boasted of record revenue generated from visitors in 2016.

Data on the revenue’s source is now public and apparently November is a popular month for the Village by the Sea. November raked in more money in sales tax revenue, $42,527, and hotel-motel tax revenue, $20,166, than any other month of the year. July brought in far more real estate excise tax dollars than other months with $20,779. December followed with $11,571.
