Lynnwood High Closed For Good, but plans up in air for old Location?

Doors closed for good...

I have only really been in the gym and the parking lot of Lynnwood high school as a parent of a visiting team member during sports, but it still seems sad to me that the old school will be torn down forever. The gym and bleachers especially were horrendous, but there was still a sense of history that is hard to recapture and install in new buildings.

The new school over on North Rd is coming along and looking amazing - I guess it should since it is costing almost $100 million according to reports! What a facility! I know it will be exciting for all the students to start their journeys in this state of the art school! The very cool part is how green the building is going to be!

Plans for the old location? Cypress Equities from Texas entered in to an agreement with the Edmonds School District as far back as 2006 I think to lease the land for 99 years for a reported $140 million. The plan was to put in mixed use retail and even a hotel. That latest, though is not looking good as the developer is rethinking their plan for the site. I don't know how these things are "agreed to", but hopefully there was something equivalent to earnest money in residential transactions that was significant in case of default...

Interested in Lynnwood real estate?
