Seattle Public Schools is proposing $66.5 million in next February’s Buildings, Technology, and Academics/Athletics (BTA) V Capital Levy to provide for a replacement at a scale to meet the basic needs of student athletics and graduations. We owe it to the youth of our City for generations to come to build a first-class facility in the heart of our transforming Seattle Center.” “Students from across the district should not have to play in facilities that are in disrepair. We have seen the transformative power of Climate Pledge Arena, and now, we have a once-in a lifetime opportunity make progress on Memorial Stadium – one that will provide incredible opportunities for our youth and the community,” said Mayor Jenny A. “City government and Seattle Public Schools are coming together with a plan to deliver on a downtown school and a new Memorial Stadium – this is a win-win for students and families across Seattle. The LOI also identifies a site at which the district could construct a future downtown school if enrollment capacity is needed. Building off a 2017 partnership agreement between the city and district, the current letter of intent (LOI) creates a pathway for a new Memorial Stadium that better serves the school district and provides a high-quality venue for arts, sports, culture, community gathering and music at Seattle Center (see map here). The 74-year-old Memorial Stadium must be replaced. Durkan and Seattle Public School Interim Superintendent Brent Jones announced a new partnership between the City and Seattle Public Schools to replace Memorial Stadium, and to provide the opportunity for a new school to serve downtown Seattle using a city property. SEATTLE (October 4, 2021) – Mayor Jenny A.
