Housing construction in the north and central corridor of the Northshore School District has accelerated over the past few years with large parcels of land being cleared for hundreds of new homes. As a result, enrollment in this area is growing rapidly and schools are nearing or exceeding capacity. Over-enrollment at a school negatively impacts instructional opportunities for students. Temporary measures such as additional portable classrooms, limiting in and out of district attendance waivers, moving specialized programs and bussing students away from neighborhood schools are not appropriate or sustainable long-term solutions.

The district's Enrollment Demographics Task Force (EDTF) - a representative group of school board and superintendent appointed parents, community members and staff - has been closely studying this issue for the past two years and recently submitted a report to the School Board with a consensus recommendation prioritizing two options.  

The 5th Annual Woodinville Women's Show, located at the Y at the Carol Edwards Center in downtown Woodinville, packs a full day of entertainment in an event tailored for women. More than 50 local, women-owned and women-focused businesses will display an array of products and services targeted specifically toward women.

Exhibitors will have interactive demonstrations and presentations on topics ranging from healthcare and wellness, to business opportunities and fashion.
