The Lake Washington School District has unveiled a $150 million bond proposal that would fund major renovations at five Redmond-area schools, including a complete rebuild of Rosa Parks Elementary and a new STEM wing at Redmond Middle School.

Superintendent Dr. Michael Torres presented the plan at a packed community forum at Redmond High School, citing aging infrastructure and rapidly growing enrollment as key drivers.

If approved by voters in November, the bond would fund seismic upgrades, technology infrastructure, expanded cafeterias, and new athletic facilities. The estimated cost to homeowners would be approximately $1.20 per $1,000 of assessed property value.

“Our kids deserve modern facilities,” said Redmond PTA Council president Amy Nakagawa. “These schools are the heart of our community.”
