Classic schools find their cool
From restaurants to condos, historic schoolhouses around the Puget Sound are being given new life in surprising ways
Some schools are built to last. When enrollment drops, it’s unthinkable to tear down a 100-year-old monument to education. Why not repurpose the old school instead?
A widely accepted idea today, local school authorities were ahead of their time when they allowed these schools to be converted into private or community facilities. Whether upscale condominiums, a multi-use shopping center, a romantic wedding spot in the heart of wine country or a brew pub, today there are myriad reasons to go back to these cool schools.

As co-editors, we recently discovered that we share a dream. Well, more of a recurring nightmare, actually.
It’s the end of the school semester, the final one of senior year. On the eve of the big math exam, we realize that we forgot to study. In fact, we’ve never even been to class, and if we fail the exam, we won’t graduate.
