  1. Shorecrest construction has been a semester behind schedule for over a year, so this is rather old news. The School District is now hitting the campaign trail for its new levies. They just want to show voters what they have accomplished before asking for more money in February.

  2. I have been watching the construction at Shorecreast since the beginning (it makes a great dog walk). I think they've done a good job, the school looks great and as far as I know they were always scheduled for full occupation after the winter break. This may have been pushed from January to February.

    And no I'm not on the school board nor do I like tax increases but I do recognize a good effort on a complex project when I see it.

  3. Au contraire. When they sought the endorsement of the Shoreline City Council for the new schools levy, the District said both schools would be ready by the start of the 2013-14 school year. They did not push out the Shorecrest date until after the levy passed.
