School district considers sales proposals

The Seattle School Board is meeting tonight (Wednesday) to discuss the proposed sales of two historic elementary schools and one playground. Crown Hill school would be sold to Small Faces Child Development Center for $1.3 million, and John B. Allen would be sold to the Phinney Neighborhood Association for just over $3 million. The board will also take a look at a proposal to sell the former Webster Elementary School playground to the Seattle Parks Department for $1.6 million. The meeting takes place at 6 p.m. (address here).

For background on the Crown Hill school, read this story in the Ballard News Tribune. PhinneyWood has a good write-up on the proposed sale on Phinney Ridge. And here’s a story from earlier this year on Webster Park.
