OpportunityEdmonds School District’s 2026-2031 Capital Facilities Plan, adopted July 7, 2026, lays out major school replacements, a new middle school, and multi-site renewals funded largely by a $594M bond and recent levies. Some named projects are already funded and scheduled, while a second bond in 2028 and many future replacements (multiple elementaries, Woodway Campus, Options HS, renewals) are listed as TBD and need future funding and scoping. Capital planning, design, construction, and specialty vendors have a multi‑year runway to influence scope, standards, and delivery models before the next bond package and subsequent procurements are locked in.Edmonds School District · Jul 7, 2026$594,000,000OpportunityReplacement of Wenatchee High School, HVAC replacement, and related major capital improvements funded by a $275 million bond measure.Wenatchee School District · Sep 23, 2026$275,000,000OpportunityMonroe is considering amending its code to let the Evergreen State Fair Park, outside city limits, add sewer capacity for a new wash bay and future park build‑out.
