Sedro Woolley asks whether Lyman would require school elevation; council says it would not

Brett Greenwood of the Sedro Woolley School District submitted correspondence to the council about the district's 20‑year facilities plan, which includes Lyman Elementary. Greenwood asked whether "at some point in the next 20 years, Lyman needed an addition or major remodel, would the town of Lyman require the school to be elevated above the 500‑year floodplain?" Mayor Eddie Hills and the council agreed it "would not be necessary."

Council treated the inquiry as informational for the district's long‑range planning; no ordinance or formal elevation requirement was proposed or adopted at the March 10 meeting. The exchange was recorded under correspondence; the council provided a clear, affirmative response that elevation would not be required by the town if the district pursues future building work.
