First game to be played in the new Shorecrest Gym

Sunday, September 9, 2012


The Shorecrest girls Volleyball team has the honor of breaking in their new home Monday night,  playing the first game in the new  gym on the Shorecrest campus.  

Game time is 7 o'clock, the opponent Marysville-Pilchuck.

Players, coaches, teachers, alums and fans are excited to see the new building.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early, bring their cameras to record the occasion for posterity, and to save room for the Best Popcorn In WESCO.

With so much of the campus undergoing construction, parking for the new gym is accessible only via the school's south parking lot.

During the public comment for the school modernization bonds, a high school student from Shorecrest told the Shoreline City Council that she knew it was too late for her, but she just wanted her little brother and sister to play in a gym where the roof didn't leak.

She got her wish. Here's a photo taken inside the new Shorecrest gym. New bleachers and the beautiful maple floor in the new gymnasium make the space shine. 

The volleyball team began practicing in the new facility last week. The first athletic contests will be held at 7 pm Monday, September 10 with a volleyball match between Shorecrest and Marysville-Pilchuck.

Construction of the new Shorewood High School has made significant progress this summer as the steel was erected for the three-story classroom building and work continues to enclose the new structure. Shorewood is expected to open the new buildings in September 2013.

Roofing has progressed through more than 50 percent of the classroom portion of the building. Interior and exterior wall framing is on-going, and exterior wall sheathing is under way to begin enclosing the building. Ductwork and overhead sprinkler and plumbing installation continues throughout the building. Structural steel erection and decking continues at the commons area in the center of the new campus.

The masonry walls for the gymnasium and theater are in place; gym skylights are being set and installation of structural steel for the theater is on-going.

The new gymnasium at Shorecrest High School (lower right in the aerial) is nearing completion and is expected to be ready for the school year in September. 

Finish work continues inside the gym in preparation for the beginning of fall sports and the opening of school on Sept. 10. The gym floor and bleachers have been installed in the main gym, while work continues in the locker room, office and classroom areas.

Construction continues on the performing and visual arts building (upper left), as masonry walls and steel roof framing are being installed. This building is scheduled for completion in December and will house band, orchestra, drama and visual arts.

The old gym, shop and the “J” building have been demolished and work will now begin on the new, three story main academic building at Shorecrest, with completion expected in early 2014.

This will be six new tennis courts at Kellogg

Construction of the six new Shorecrest tennis courts is now under way at Kellogg Middle School (photo attached). The Shorecrest boys tennis teams will practice and play their home matches at Shoreline Park this fall. Construction of the new courts is highly weather dependent, so it is uncertain if the new courts will be ready for a portion of the fall tennis season.

Photos of Shorewood construction

Sunday, July 22, 2012

Here are some shots that Steven H. Robinson took of the construction progress for the new Shorewood High School at 175th and Fremont.

The windows will all be replaced in period style
at the original Ronald School
New building under construction behind the old Ronald School


Front view

The site is challenging because of the small size, the need to have all students on campus for classes, and the boggy nature of the land at the south end of the site.
