Once complete, Alki Elementary School will provide permanent space for up to 500 students in grades PreK to 5.
The new school building will have secure entry points. It will be designed to be respectful of the surrounding neighborhood. Storm water management will be included. The attached Seattle Parks & Recreation community center may remain open during construction.
The entire school site is 1.45 acres.
