PROJECT STATUS
April 2009
This development project had been on hold because uncertainty surrounding
the availability of the property for park use.
Surplus property at the former Crown Hill Elementary School was
purchased from the Seattle School District (SSD) on March 20,
2009 for $5.4 million. The original development project anticipated
the property would remain under a long-term lease with the Seattle
School District. During the course of the 2000 Pro Parks Levy
SSD declared the school surplus. The community advocated for the
purchase of the site to preserve existing community open space.
This 1.71-acre acquisition is one of several relating to preserving
surplus SSD property for park use and its purchase fulfills one
of Crown Hill’s longstanding community goals in its neighborhood
plan. It is anticipated that a portion of the City funding for
this purchase will be reimbursed from a pending King County Conservation
Futures grant application.
Parks and Green Spaces Levy development funding of $1.2 million
will contribute to completing the design and construction of the
park. Fire Station 35 will use a portion of the Holman Road frontage
for temporary use while its permanent facility is being upgraded.
Design efforts initiated under the Pro Parks Levy can now continue
with the completion of this acquisition and the passing of the
new Parks and Green Spaces Levy. Schematic designs are located
below under Meeting #2.
