Snohomish County is in the process of acquiring approximately 4,550 square feet of property along Seattle Hill Road from the Triway Grange 1093 for road improvement purposes, and has asked the District for a quit claim deed to the property as well. This is because in 1939, Consolidated School District No. 331 (the predecessor to Everett School District No. 2) deeded this property to the Triway Grange with the stipulation that it will revert back to the District if the grange is ever dissolved or does not maintain and use the property. At the current time, the District claims no title or interest in the portion of the property being acquired by Snohomish County.
