Seattle King County REALTORS came out in full support of the Issaquah School District’s Construction and Maintenance Bond proposal, headed to voters April 17.

The measure would seek up to $219 million to fund several capitol projects, including the remodel of Liberty High School, over the next eight years.

The district needs the money to accommodate it’s growth, about 18.6 percent in the last decade. The bond will help rebuild obsolete schools, including three 50-year-old facilities, said Issaquah Realtor Joan Probala.

When schools are higher performing, it increases nearby property values, one reason the REALTORS group support the vote.

“But most important, quality schools are crucial to the futures of the students in the Issaquah School District,” said Wolf Puls, SKCR president.
