Vol. 102, No. 7

A new proposal for the remodel of Mount Si High School would shorten the construction timeline from eight years to three and streamline the transition back to a comprehensive (grades 9 to 12) school building. It would also require the district to buy and demolish the homes on seven parcels of land on the southwest corner of the high school property, either through a direct purchase, or through condemnation proceedings. The Snoqualmie Valley School District has already made offers on each of the properties, based on a recent appraisal, and is waiting for official responses from the owners. Condemnation proceedings, in which the district would petition the state for the right of eminent domain to purchase the properties at a value to be set by a jury, could be resorted to if one or more of the property-owners refuses to sell.

A model of the new Mount Si High School illustrates how big the new building will be, roughly 350,000 square feet. As proposed, the project would take only three years, but would require seven more parcels of land. “The idea is that we want to offer them fair market value and work with them to make the transition as easy as possible,” said district assistant superintendent and business services director Ryan Stokes.

Flag finish on the Fourth Carnation resident Owen Kilfoyle, 21, grabbed a flag to wave as he crossed the finish line in the 5K race that starts off the Great Carnation Fourth of July celebration, Saturday. For full coverage, see page 2.

He estimated the combined value of the lots at roughly $1.5 million. He also sympathized with the families who will be affected by the acquisition, saying “this is not fun for anyone.” SEE SCHOOL, 11

Human bones found on Mount Si

Few clues can be found to identify the human remains that two hikers recently discovered on Mount Si, just some bones, a pair of glasses, a watch, shovel and some clothing. Missing persons reports from the past few decades don’t help, either. “There are no (reports)… nothing corresponds to any of this,” said Stan Seo, King County Sheriff ’s office spokesperson. Detectives with the KCSO Major Crimes Unit are asking for the public’s help in identifying the person.
