I hope the Snohomish School District has cleaned up their act in the last 7 years. My husband and I both graduated from there, and while the school itself wasn't bad, the administration has had corruption, after problem, after problem, after more corruption.
Snohomish has trouble passing levies because the District lies about what the funds will go toward; like they market it as a levy for books and then put it towards teacher raises (and I fully support teacher raises, I think it's a travesty what we pay teachers in this country as a whole). So after years of that, the taxpayers are very leery to give the district any money, at all. They've needed a new high school for at least 10 years, I'd say more like 15. We were above capacity in 98 when my husband graduated.
Ok, rant over. I lived in Snohomish from the time I was 3 to the time I was 19, so I don't have a very good perspective I don't think. I saw all the bad parts of it, and took for granted all the good parts. One thing I've learned since joining this board is that there's no "perfect" place to live. I love Lake Stevens, but in a few years I am sure it will be too big and busy for my tastes like most of the towns around here.
