I am very interested in what is going on there. I own the property at 7640 Seabeck Holly Road. My property is 7.5 Acres. It boarders the "Tree" portion of the School property 2+ acres. The metal gate that people go around to get to the Cemetery is on my property. One of my frustrations with the school district's plans is that no one has really been willing to say if the property will be for sale and for how much. The tax value for the lot ajacent to mine is listed as about $90,000, but it is Zoned rural residential with a minimum lot size of 5 acres to build. How is it that the county values the land at for less than $100,000 and renderes it unbuildable by its own zoning, yet the school district thinks they should sell it for $250,000? My property has the same zoning but there is already one house on it, so it is fully developed according to the provisions of the growth management act. I am in favor of the school remaining in public property. Nobody has said what the district plans to do with the trees. The thought of someone clearcutting next door sickens me. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Craig RE Seabeck School and Marina

If the buildings are demolished before the district sells the land, the district has to cover the demolition costs, which are just over $500,000. The third parcel which is around 3 acres is estimated to be around $250,000. There are more numbers involved in all of this, and likely more ways to look at the land, but the district is only revealing this information. They, by law, can restrict the information released to the public because they don't want to hurt the potential sale of the land they own.

"Michael Reeves’ announcement that he’d like to purchase a small parcel from the district and donate a portion of it to the public..." What price are they looking at for the possible purchase? Maybe other people would be willing and able to do the same thing...what is the cost to them? What ARE the costs to purchase the different properties?
