The District has been working on this transaction with Port staff for several years and we are very pleased to see it nearing completion. The undeveloped 3.16 acre parcel is at the south end of the Highline School District's Transportation, Maintenance and Operations campus. By purchasing this land the School District will be able to extend its campus to Des Moines Way, create a formal entrance to the campus, and begin planning for a critical expansion to the Puget Sound Skills Center.

The PSSC is an academic, career, and technical school that provides career training in such areas as Criminal Justice, Fire and First Response, Automotive Mechanical and Auto Body, Culinary Arts, Dental Assisting, Computer Networking, and so on. The programs draw students from 14 different high schools and 5 different School Districts.
