Contractors started installing field turf at the Blaine High School football field on April 6, and the project is expected to finish this summer, in time for fall football.
Though much construction is on hold throughout the state due to governor Jay Inslee’s stay-at-home order, the governor and the state superintendent of public instruction have said that school district construction projects are essential and can continue.
The project is funded through a $12 million, six-year capital project and technology levy that voters passed in an April 2018 special election. The school board approved the district to spend up to $1.33 million on the project at an October 2019 board meeting, and bids for the project came in below that.
