NOTICE OF APPLICATION
Date of this Notice: July 24, 2025
Proposal: College Place Elementary and Middle School Replacement (PDR-25-0005).
Project Description: On July 3, 2025, Kate McLean of NAC Architecture, on behalf of Edmonds School District submitted plans for proposed construction of a new elementary and middle school in one building with a planned gross area of 222,000 square feet, and a footprint of 102,945 square feet. The building will consist of the fully separated elementary and middle schools, with a shared kitchen and delivery space. The phased construction plan will keep the existing middle school open during construction, with the elementary students moving off-site. The siting of the building and overall campus have been designed to save as many existing trees as possible, and the building exterior will feature natural-look materials to evoke the wooded coastline of the Lynnwood-Edmonds area. The project will also include all new play areas, new parking lots, drop offs, new fields and track, and a park area where the existing middle school currently sits. Edmonds School District is acting as the Lead Agency for a SEPA Determination regarding this project. The application was deemed complete on July 21, 2025.
