By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer

The deadline for appealing the decision on the Ronald School building is March 28.

I wrote a few weeks ago that the deadline for appealing the City Council’s decision to approve the certificate of appropriateness for incorporating the historic Ronald building into a rebuilt Shorewood High School was April 4.

In fact, the deadline is 21 days after the March 7 Council decision.

Volunteers are welcome at the Museum work party Sunday

Friday, January 28, 2011

On Thursday, January 27, Vicki Stiles, Director of the Shoreline Historical Museum, transferred custodianship of the historic Ronald School building to the Shoreline School District under the terms of their joint agreement. As you drive by the Ronald School you will see that all signs have been removed. In four months everything in the 15,000 square foot building was moved to the old Sunset Elementary School for temporary storage.

The Museum is now spiffing up the house at 18511 Linden Ave N for occupancy during the first week of February. The gray house will become the new Museum office and will have at least one display soon. The Museum’s phone number is still 206-542-7111.

Sunday the 30th, from 11 am to 2 pm, we’ll have a work party to clean out the old salon building on the corner of 185th and Linden. Loren Day, intrepid Museum volunteer, has nearly single-handedly cleaned up the grounds.

In the near future more displays will be housed in the old salon building and we hope to begin construction soon on a new museum building. The Museum owns the two structures and also the vacant lot to the west.

Shoreline Historical Museum purchases land in Town Center area; Citizens' group appeals Ronald School decision

Monday, January 17, 2011

The Shoreline Historical Museum recently finalized the purchase of land at the corner of Linden Ave N and N 185, across from the Richmond Masonic Lodge and Fred Meyer, at the north end of the newly designated Shoreline Town Center.

The property was previously owned by the James Alan Salon and has been vacant for some time.  It is the corner property and has two buildings on site.

The Museum held several work parties to ready the buildings for occupancy for office and storage.

Per the agreement with the Shoreline School District, the Museum has moved all its holdings from the old Ronald School and stored them temporarily in the closed Sunset School.

Bassetti architects has designed the new Shorewood High School as an addition to the landmarked Ronald School. The design was approved by the King County Landmarks Commission (see previous story) at a special public hearing in Shoreline and a Certificate of Appropriateness was issued to the architects and the School District.  Plans are proceeding on schedule to build the new school. Construction is under a deadline as delay would mean a loss of millions in State grants.

The newly-formed Shoreline Preservation Society, headed by Museum supporter and former Shoreline Councilmember Janet Way, has filed an appeal of the Landmarks Commission decision to the Shoreline City Council.
According to Janet Way, "The appeal will be heard by the Shoreline City Council on February 28 at the regular council meeting. It is a "closed record, quasi-judicial" matter. This means no new evidence or testimony will be taken and the Councilmembers are not permitted ANY exparte communications with anyone, including each other."
The process states:
If, after examination of the written appeal and the record, the council determines, that:
          1. An error in fact may exist in the record, it shall remand the proceeding to the commission for reconsideration or, if the council determines that:
          2. the decision of the commission is based on an error in judgment or conclusion, it may modify or reverse the decision of the commission.

If the appeal to the Council is unsuccessful, the Preservation Society can either accept the ruling of the City Council or appeal to Superior Court.

Landmarks Commission hearing on Ronald School building October 14

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

The proposed design for the new Shorewood would attach to the south, back side of the Ronald School

A public hearing will be held by the Shoreline Landmarks Commission to consider a request by the Shoreline School District's Bassetti Architects for a Certificate of Appropriateness to construct a new high school attached to Ronald School, a City of Shoreline landmark.

The hearing will be held at 7 pm on October 14 in the Richmond Masonic Temple at 753 N 185th St. The Landmarks Commission will make findings of fact and give a final decision.

During the hearing, anyone may speak or submit written comments. Written comments may be submitted to the Landmarks Commission in advance in care of Todd Scott of the King County Historic Preservation Program.

The School District is planning to incorporate the Ronald School into the design of the new Shorewood High School. Per agreement with the Shoreline Historical Museum board, the new building will only attach to the back wall of the Ronald School, which was extensively remodeled by the Museum to install an elevator.

However, the building must be brought up to the stricter earthquake codes required for school buildings, which would require reinforcement of all the exterior walls.  Under current plans, the Ronald Building's interior would be extensively remodeled and used for performing arts classes. A theatre, similar to the Performing Arts Center at Shorecrest High School would be built to the east of the Ronald School.

Plans for the School District to give the building to the Shoreline Historical Museum and pay to have it relocated fell through when the Museum board was unable to secure new property to locate the building. Under the current agreement, the School District will pay the Museum approximately $800,000 for the Museum to relinquish the building and support the District's plans for the new high school.

School district and Museum reach agreement on Ronald School building

Wednesday, September 22, 2010

According to the school district website, the Shoreline School District and the Shoreline Historical Museum have reached an agreement on the Ronald School building, currently occupied by the Museum and located at 749 N 175th St, one block west of Aurora on N 175th at Linden Ave N.

Front, north side of Ronald School
Under this agreement, the School District will ultimately pay the Museum $852,000 - $652,000 at the closing of the purchase and sale agreement and $200,000 when they vacate the building, which must be prior to February 1, 2011. These funds will come from the 2010 bond money for the Shorewood modernization/replacement project.

The Museum will convey its interest in the Ronald School and current ground lease to the District by September 30, 2010. The Museum will lease the Ronald School building until February 1, 2011 and a portion of the Sunset School for storage only, from September 30 to no later than June 30, 2012.
south, back side of Ronald School

The District will include the Ronald School in the design of the new Shorewood, abutting the Ronald School on the south, rear side and leaving the north, east, and west sides free. Under codes governing school buildings, the Ronald School will need to be brought up to current earthquake codes.

The Museum and its officers agree not to oppose the project either directly or indirectly and to write a letter of support for the District's application for a Certificate of Appropriateness and a Conditional Use Permit from the City of Shoreline.

The full agreement and further details are on the School District website.

The agreement does not mention the bell tower.  In the 1930s the cupola that housed the bell needed replacement and was taken down. The bell remained in place standing alone on the top of the building, but the cupola was not replaced and an earthquake in 1949 caused the bell to be removed for safety reasons. The bell is on display in the Shoreline Historical Museum.  (Information corrected.  I had the wrong earthquake.  DKH)

Evan Smith: School District hasn’t given date for eviction of Museum

Tuesday, September 7, 2010


By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer

The Shoreline School District has told the Shoreline Historical Museum that it will have to leave the Ronald School Building that the Museum has occupied for 35 years.

Museum officials tell me that they don’t know when they will need to leave or where they will go.

Museum Director Vicki Stiles told me last week that the School District has offered the Museum temporary storage space for its collections at the former Sunset School, a building that is scheduled to be torn down, with the land to be developed into a Shoreline City park.

Stiles said that the Museum is searching for a new site.

Shoreline School Public Information Officer Craig Degginger recently wrote in the Richmond Beach Community News that the School District “will now return to its original plan of including the historic Ronald School building as part of a new Shorewood High School.”

The School District said last year that the Museum would have to leave the site, which would be incorporated into a rebuilt Shorewood High School. This led to opposition to a February bond issue to rebuild both Shorewood and Shorecrest high schools.

Then, the School District and the Museum board announced an “agreement in principal” under which the School District would allow the Museum to keep the building and move it to a nearby site in exchange for the Museum’s supporting the bond issue, The bond issue passed with a 62 percent “yes” vote, 426 votes more than the 60 percent needed.
The Museum hoped to buy land east of the Museum parking lot, land that has now been sold to a different buyer.
Degginger’s news release said, “Despite repeated efforts over the past five months, the Shoreline School District and the Shoreline Historical Museum, currently housed in the Ronald School, have not been able to finalize the agreement to relocate the building to an adjacent site,” adding that the District would return to its earlier plan to “incorporate” the Ronald building into the Shorewood design, ”honoring, preserving and restoring the original school building, while bringing the unreinforced brick masonry building up to code and making it a safe structure for student use.

“After both the Museum board and the Shoreline School Board approved the ‘Agreement in Principle’ in January, and voters approved the February 9, 2010, bond measure to replace both Shorewood and Shorecrest High Schools, the District directed the Bassetti Architects to develop a new architectural design for the Shorewood that did not incorporate the Ronald School into the project, assuming that the building would be moved from the property. Since that time Bassetti staff has worked on the new plan exclusively.
“Representatives from the Museum and the School District have met several times since the February election to discuss the agreement to move the Ronald School.

“In a surprise move on June 1, the Museum Board legally appealed the District’s Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) process related to relocating the Ronald School building to an adjacent site.

“As efforts to purchase the necessary adjacent property by the Museum stalled, July 1 was determined by the District to be the last possible date to direct the architects to return to the pre-February 2010 design plans, which incorporated the Ronald School into the Shorewood design.

“’Any further delay in this decision will most certainly disrupt the design, construction timeline, and threatens the significant state funding of approximately $17 million associated with the replacement of Shorewood High School,’ said Superintendent Sue Walker.

“Consistent with the District’s previous communications on the subject, the District clarified three items that needed to be in place by July 1 in order for the District to know there is a good faith effort and/or the ability on the part of the Museum to execute the ‘Agreement in Principle’ reached
in January. The three items were:

1. A signed purchase agreement on a piece of property adjacent to the Shorewood site.
2. A signed legal agreement with the District stipulating all of the necessary conditions to be met outlined in the ‘Agreement in Principle’ and discussed at the meeting.
3. A written withdrawal of the SEPA appeal“

Shoreline Schools, questions and answers re change of plans for Shorewood

Sunday, July 18, 2010


By Diane Hettrick

I asked some follow-up questions after the Shoreline School district's press release about incorporating Ronald School into the Shorewood design, and after hearing from the Museum which would be dispossessed by the School District's actions. My questions, as posed, and the answers follow:

1. Why are you playing hardball? Major property purchases can take a very long time. What are the deadlines on the federal money - is that the primary driver?
The state has given the District a commitment for $17 million for Shorewood, but with certain deadlines that must be met to qualify for the funding. The District has been clear with the Museum Board as to the timeline for the project. When the Museum failed to execute the Agreement in Principle despite repeated efforts over the past five months, failed to purchase an adjacent piece of property, and appealed the SEPA determination, the District felt it must move forward to keep the project on the timeline.

2. Is the design you are going back to one of the ones at the original open house, where the new school is built right into the wall / walls of the museum, or a design that leaves the 45' clearance around the Ronald School.
As you reported, the District will now return to its original plan of including the Ronald School as part of Shorewood. The minimum 45-foot clearance would only have been required if the Ronald School were to left on its own and not a part of Shorewood.

3. Are you actually planning to gut the building and use it?
Working with the King County Landmarks Commission, the Bassetti Architects will create a plan to incorporate the historic Ronald School building into the Shorewood design - honoring, preserving and restoring the original school building structure, while bringing the unreinforced brick masonry building up to code and making it a safe structure for student use.

The District’s FAQ on the Ronald School goes into more detail about restoration of the building:

4. Isn't this a second-best design and use of the site?
As far as historic preservation is concerned, the highest purposes of historic properties are the original ones for which the building was built. In this case, the historic Ronald building will be returned to use as a school, just as it served the community for nearly 60 years.

5. Is the City involved this time around in trying to find a solution?
Members of the City Council and city staff were present for a number of meetings between the District and the Museum.

6. Are you at all concerned about negative public opinion?
The District has a made a commitment to the communities it serves to modernize/replace Shorecrest and Shorewood High Schools. In February, 10,788 voters supported the bond issue to modernize/replace both high schools. We are looking forward to completing two new high schools that will serve the Shoreline and Lake Forest Park students, families and communities for decades to come.

Statement from the School District re the Ronald School and Shoreline Historical Museum


New Shorewood to incorporate historic Ronald School building - full statement from Shoreline Schools

Despite repeated efforts over the past five months, the Shoreline School District and the Shoreline Historical Museum, currently housed in the Ronald School, have not been able to finalize the agreement to relocate the building to an adjacent site. Therefore, the Shoreline School District will now return to its original plan of incorporating the historic Ronald School building in a new Shorewood High School.

After both the Museum Board and the Shoreline School Board approved the "Agreement in Principle" in January and voters approved the February 9, 2010 $150 million bond measure to replace both Shorewood and Shorecrest High Schools, the District directed the Bassetti Architects to develop a new architectural design for the Shorewood that did not incorporate the Ronald School into the project, assuming that the building would be moved from the property. Since that time Bassetti staff has worked on the new plan exclusively.

In a surprise move on June 1, the Museum Board legally appealed the District's Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) process related to relocating the Ronald School building to an adjacent site.

As efforts to purchase the necessary adjacent property by the Museum stalled, July 1 was determined by the District to be the last possible date to direct the architects to return to the pre-February 2010 design plans which incorporated the Ronald School into the Shorewood design.

"Any further delay in this decision will most certainly disrupt the design, construction timeline, and threatens the significant state funding of approximately $17 million associated with the replacement of Shorewood High School," said Superintendent Sue Walker.

Representatives from the Museum and the District have met several times since the February election to discuss the agreement to move the Ronald School. Consistent with the District's previous communications on the subject, the District clarified three items that needed to be in place by July 1 in order for the District to know there is a good faith effort and/or the ability on the part of the Museum to execute the "Agreement in Principle" reached in January. The three items were:

  1. A signed purchase agreement on a piece of property adjacent to the Shorewood site.
  2. A signed legal agreement with the District stipulating all of the necessary conditions to be met outlined in the "Agreement in Principle" and discussed at the meetings.
  3. A written withdrawal of the SEPA appeal filed by the Museum Board.

The Museum did not secure the necessary property to which the Ronald School can be moved and there is no signed agreement, other than the original agreement in principle. The SEPA appeal has not been withdrawn and is still in progress. The District feels that it has no choice but to move ahead with plans to incorporate the Ronald School building into the Shorewood design.

The Museum's side of the story

Sunday, July 11, 2010

When the school district released information that it intended to move back to previous plans for the Ronald School (see Evan Smith's article) because the Museum had not fulfilled its agreements, I sent Henry Reed a set of very blunt questions, which he answers in the following article. Diane Hettrick, Editor

From Henry Reed, President, Board of Trustees, Shoreline Historical Museum

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to present the facts about the Museum’s present situation regarding the “Agreement in Principle” with the Shoreline School District. The answers below follow the four questions that you posed.

In your first question, (“. . . what made you file suit against the school?”), the Museum did not file a suit – this is a mischaracterization of the process.  [My error -Editor] The Museum simply appealed the School District’s decision under the State Environmental Policy Act (“SEPA”) to issue a determination of non-significance with regard to the District’s SEPA checklist. The problem with the District’s determination was that the District had declared the effect of taking over the Ronald School for instructional purposes to be “non-significant.” The Museum did not agree with this assessment because our program has been built, since 1976, around the restoration and utilization of the Shoreline community’s most historic asset – Ronald School. The potential impacts to the Ronald School Building and the Museum’s programming are significant and should be treated as such in the final determination. For this reason, we appealed the District’s determination of non-significance. The heritage of a community is important. If our efforts to acquire property to which we could move our Museum were to fail, and if the District were to convert Ronald School to instructional use, the Shoreline community (with Lake Forest Park and North Seattle) would lose a very essential asset. Our appeal seeks recognition of this fact. We do not want it hidden as “non-significant.”.We want to know how the District would mitigate this loss. This is the reason for our appeal.

However, our appeal in no way detracts on the Museum’s commitment to honor the Agreement in Principle. In fact, it demonstrates our commitment to the historical nature of the building, and our mission and goal to make sure it is preserved, consistent with the Agreement in Principle.

The second part of your first question asks if there is a problem securing property for the new location of the Museum. The answer to that is a clear “yes.” We made an offer that was above the appraised price for the parcel in question, and our offer was the highest that our Board of Trustees could allow for prudent management. After nearly five months of appraisals, discussions and negotiations, the property of first choice is now likely to be sold to someone else. The Museum had already had pre-application meetings at the City planning department, and spent several thousand dollars on architect’s fees for the design of that property. However, the Museum Board is still committed to finding a solution to this challenge and is actively working toward this end.

You ask, what is our response, now that the District is planning to incorporate Ronald School into the (new) school design? We do not control what the District decides to design; in fact, months ago they showed us renderings of Ronald School as a part of the new High School. We are continuing our efforts to find a suitable site for our Museum, while the District continues its design alternatives.

As for the “Agreement in Principle”: we take that agreement very seriously. We are working to make it happen. Nowhere in that agreement is there mention of deadline dates, such as July 1, 2010 or October 1, 2010. Those dates are the District’s subsequent proposals, but they were not adopted by our Board, nor by the School Board. We have worked hard to pass the Bond Election for the District, and the final passage by 426 votes was clearly due to the work of our Museum members and supporters. We are still working to make the “Agreement in Principle” succeed.

And finally, you ask if we think that the controversy will affect our funding sources? While the impacts of the School District’s proposal could complicate our fundraising efforts, we believe that our funding sources are firm; we have heard nothing to refute that. To the extent that the future of the Museum is threatened, one would think that Museum supporters, including funding sources, would rally rather than surrender. That has been our experience so far.

School District plans for the Ronald School building

Tuesday, January 19, 2010




What are the current plans for the historic Ronald School building?


Ronald School was originally constructed as a four-room schoolhouse in 1912 and later expanded to its current eight-classroom configuration in 1926. It was used for school purposes for almost 60 years, until 1971. The School District has allowed it to be used by the Shoreline Historical Museum since 1976. It is currently a City of Shoreline landmark structure.

The School Board has selected preferred conceptual designs for both Shorewood and Shorecrest High Schools. At Shorewood, the conceptual design incorporates the historic Ronald School in a meaningful way into the new school, and at the same time bridging the past history of Shoreline with the new school building by proposing to share the space with the Shoreline Historical Museum.

Would the museum stay in the building if it were incorporated into a new Shorewood?



Yes, the conceptual schematic design for Shorewood includes spaces for visual and performing arts and for the Museum.

So the Museum hasn’t been evicted?


There is no eviction of the Shoreline Historical Museum. Even if the Museum was to leave Ronald School, the earliest construction at Shorewood could begin is 2011.




Proposed site plan for Shoreline High School

Would the building be torn down?


NO, nor would the District want to have Ronald School demolished. It is a City of Shoreline official historical landmark, and as such is a protected structure.

What would a restoration of the historic Ronald School look like?

The conceptual plans for Shorewood High School incorporates the Ronald School into the design, bridging the historic landmark structure with the brand new building. The plan proposes Shorewood to use the upper two floors for visual and performing arts to support the school’s award-winning programs, while the lower level would be renovated to accommodate Shoreline Historical Museum exhibition space.

The District has hired Bassetti Architects, a firm with extensive experience in historic buildings. Since 1947, Bassetti has been the architect for many well-loved and long-lived Seattle buildings. This includes the historical renovation and restoration of several schools and buildings, including the Pike Place Market, Town Hall and Trinity Church.
Roosevelt High School, the Latona (John Stanford International) School, Franklin High School and West Seattle High School in the Seattle School District; Guggenheim Hall and Mary Gates Hall at the University of Washington, and Stadium High School in Tacoma also feature Bassetti designs involving restoration of historic structures.

At Stadium the grand historic structure, originally built as a hotel in the 1890s, was brought into the 21st century with complete seismic, life safety, mechnical, electrical, ADA, and technology upgrades. Exhaustive research by Bassetti combined with careful design allowed the modern amenities to blend seamlessly with the beloved landmark “castle.” Bassetti Architects received the 2007 Valerie Sivinski Award for Historic Preservation for its work on Stadium.

At Roosevelt (pictured), Bassetti designed a remarkable renovation of the 1921 historic building, including the transformation of the three-story school auditorium in a new library and learning resource center space.

Lorne McConachie, principal of Bassetti Architects, has served for eight years on the Seattle Historic Preservation Board – including six years as chair. He has also served on the Pioneer Square Preservation Board for three years - currently as vice-chair.

If the Ronald School were left as present, without seismic retrofit, what would have to be done to ensure the safety of Shorewood High School students?

The District has been advised that to protect students, a new Shorewood High School would have to be set back at least 45 feet on all three sides from the Ronald School, which is an unreinforced brick masonry building. Any decision on setbacks between Shorewood and Ronald, including barriers to keep students away from that area, would need to be resolved during the planning process, which makes these types of planning decisions.

Rally in support of the Shoreline Historical Museum

Monday, January 18, 2010



Over 80 people gathered on the steps of the Ronald School today to show their support for the Shoreline Historical Museum. The Museum is located on property leased from the Shoreline School District, which wants to reclaim the land to use for a new Shorewood High School. Ownership of the Ronald School building is in dissent, with the Museum holding to a 1976 agreement which transferred ownership of the building from the school district to the group starting the museum. The school district points to a more recent lease agreement where the school district is named as the owner.

Proponents of the Museum are threatening to vote against the school bond measure on the February ballot. Museum supporter Jan Stewart said “We’d like to vote Yes, but only if the District guarantees that the Museum will be protected in place. I don’t like that the District is forcing voters to chose between our Museum and schools.” 


The School Bond for $150 Million will be on a ballot measure coming up February 9 along with two levies. A total of 60% YES, must be achieved for the Bond to pass. Failure of the bond would deny the funding for the construction of both Shorewood and Shorecrest High Schools.

Under no conditions would the School District consider demolishing or destroying the Ronald School

Thursday, January 14, 2010


by Craig Degginger
Shoreline School District Public Information Officer

Under no conditions would the District consider demolishing or destroying the Ronald School building in the process of replacing Shorewood High School. It is a “landmark” building, with great educational significance to our community.


• Current architectural plans incorporate the historic Ronald School building into the Shorewood design - honoring, preserving and restoring the original school building, while bringing the unreinforced brick masonry building up to code and making it a safe structure for community/student use.

• Current Shorewood plans propose sharing the restored Ronald School building with the Shoreline Historical Museum through a legal lease agreement, incorporating display cases in the new school’s performing arts center for Museum exhibits and community access.

• Conversations between the District, the Museum, and the City of Shoreline are continuing and additional alternatives are being explored, including, but not limited to:

  1. Option to acquire property adjacent to the Shorewood site as part of an alternative solution for the Ronald School and Museum.
  2. Option for the District to move the Ronald School building to an adjacent site.
  3. Option for the Museum to move to another Shoreline site, including one option that would minimize or eliminate the need for the Museum to pay rent.
Additional information is available on the school district website.

Ronald School building and Shorewood High School planning #1

Wednesday, January 6, 2010


As planning continues for the modernization/replacement of Shorewood High School, the Shoreline School District has been gathering important facts regarding the Ronald School building. This information provides our community with the background necessary to consider a variety of options with respect to the future of the Ronald School building and its current tenant, the Shoreline Historical Museum. 
 The District recognizes the value of the Museum in our community and encourages all stakeholders to share in the problem solving around this issue. The District has held several meetings with representatives from the Shoreline Historical Museum and the City of Shoreline to reach a resolution agreeable to all parties involved.


What are the current plans for the historic Ronald School building?


Ronald School was originally constructed as a four-room schoolhouse in 1912 and later expanded to its current eight-classroom configuration in 1926. It was used for school purposes for almost 60 years, until 1971. The School District has allowed it to be used by the Shoreline Historical Museum since 1976.
