Proposal Name and File Number: College Place Elementary and Middle School Replacement (PDR-25-0005)
Decision: On November 24, 2025, the City of Lynnwood’s Development & Business Services Director granted approval with conditions for a 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 separated elementary and middle schools, with a shared kitchen and delivery space.

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.
