Salish Middle School Project Updates

Intersection work has started at the new entry way off of Alderwood Mall Parkway, across the street from Lowes! The new driveway will be used as construction access only until the school opens in 2028.

The building permit for the newly named Salish Middle School is being reviewed by the City of Lynnwood. Bidding for all construction packages for the main Building will take place in April.

The New Middle School project has officially been renamed to Salish Middle School, and will be reflected in all news updates going forward.

This winter, the New Middle School design team completed the 90% construction drawings of the main building and submitted the design to the City of Lynnwood for permit review. The team is actively working toward bid set completion with bidding planned to occur in April.

The New Middle School and College Place teams are working closely to ensure project equity and alignment. The teams and our GC/CM partners are carefully planning critical bid dates around each other to allow for fair and competitive bidding from subcontractors for both projects.

The District and design teams are working to finalize project details such as material selections and aligning this with value engineering and cost options to try to maximize value to the project.

Construction on the Alderwood Mall Parkway intersection will start late February and/or early March. Main building construction will begin as soon as Oak Heights Elementary School moves from the current interim site to their new building in July, at which point the old Alderwood Middle School building can be demolished.
