History and Facilities
Edmonds-Woodway was formed when Edmonds High School and Woodway High School, neighboring schools with a traditional rivalry, merged in 1990. They combined the Edmonds and Woodway High School colors (gold, purple, orange and green), although purple and green the dominant colors used. The school used the old Woodway High School building until construction on a new facility at the old Edmonds High School site. The new school, which opened in 1998, is located close to Highway 99 and is accessible from Interstate-5. It received several regional and national design awards, including the 1990 Masonry Institute of Washington's Masonry Excellence Award for the use of masonry throughout the project, as well as the prestigious national annual design award of the Council of Educational Facilities Planners International, the 1999 James D. MacConnell Award for outstanding new educational facilities serving the needs of students, staff, and the community, and facilitating student achievement. Bassetti Architects of Seattle was the architectural firm for the new building.
