In 2019, the district built a 12,000 sq. ft. warehouse addition to house the print shop and laundry services funded from state match funds from the Shaw Road addition project.

In 2007, a remote 1,728-square foot portable transportation facility was completed to go along with the paved parking improvements adding an additional 82 school bus parking capacity within the district. In addition, the 10,000-square foot Education Technology and Engagement Center (EdTec) was completed, allowing the district's EdTec department to relocate from Kalles Junior High.

When Ballou Junior High School was first constructed in 1970, it was built on leased land owned by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. On May 28, 1992, the district purchased the Ballou site for a sum of $1,675,000.00. The Ballou site has approximately 29.69 acres and is L-shaped with street frontage on Meridian Avenue (SR 161) and 136th Street E.

This property is located in an unincorporated area of Pierce County. The entire site has a zoning designation of Community Center. One can locate the site by traveling south on Meridian (SR 161), turning right and heading west on 136th Street E. The site is immediately on your left.

The work of the Citizens Facilities Advisory Committee, submitted to the Board in 2011, indicated a need to replace Firgrove Elementary to the west of its present location and to the south of Ballou Junior High School. Relocating Firgrove Elementary School in this manner will allow the potential sale of school property along Meridian Ave E.

Consideration of selling any of this property would best be deferred until such time that the Firgrove relocation project becomes a reality, and the site design has been completed. This approach allows the district the needed flexibility in site design and the conditional use process.

This property was purchased in October of 1993 from Rainier Ventures Limited Partnership for a sum of $1,100,000.00. This site is contiguous with Emerald Ridge High School and Glacier View Junior High school. The site was originally purchased as a location for what is now Glacier View Junior High. Master planning for the 100-acre district-owned property, subsequently identified the site as the appropriate location for the elementary school.

This site has approximately 24 total acres, although it is estimated at this time that the net usable acreage is approximately 17 acres, based upon the presence ofsome steep slope and wetland areas. It is mostly rectangular in shape with future street frontage along 180th Street E. This site is covered with a stand of second growth trees. The site topography is mostly flat or slightly sloping with the exception of the steep slope that borders the southern boundary of the parcel.

This property is located inside the Sunrise Master Plan Development, an unincorporated area of Pierce County. The Sunrise Development is subject to the Pierce County 2001 zoning regulations and the Sunrise Master Plan currently designates the site as "School" space. The Sunrise developers are contractually obligated to provide the basic infrastructure to this future school site, including the main street systems and utility trunk lines. One can locate the site by traveling south on Meridian (SR 161), turning left (going east) on Sunrise Blvd., turning right onto 122nd Avenue E. and then turn left (going east) on 180th Street E. (not yet developed). This site is located on the south side of the future 180th Street E. at approximately the 130:XX block.

This property was purchased in July of 1985 from the Church ofJesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for a sum of$468,000.00 (approximately $10,100.00 per acre). Initially, the site was purchased with no particular purpose in mind other than it was a large piece of available property at a good price. It obviously had some potential for being developed by the district.

At the time the LDS site was purchased, it had approximately 46.45 acres and was rectangular in shape with street frontage on I 28th Street E. and 94th Avenue E. After construction of Zeiger Elementary School, approximately 32.04 acres of the LDS site remained undeveloped. In September 2002, a fifty-year inter-local agreement with Pierce County to develop a large portion of the site for use as athletic complex (Heritage Recreation Center) was approved by district and Pierce County leadership. An approximate 8.80-acre portion now remains available for other district uses. Several of those acres along the south property line are wetlands. Furthermore, a Bonneville Power line easement, a storm drainage easement and a sewer line easement all exist close to the south property line, making part of the area non-buildable. At this time, we would estimate that approximately four acres of this remaining parcel remain as potential residential building or a park site.

One can locate the site by traveling south on Meridian (SR 161 ), turning right on I 28th Street E. and going west, turning left on 94th Avenue E. and going south. The site is located on the west side of 94th Avenue E. and the south side of 128th Street E.

This property was purchased in July of 1971 from Helmer and Pearl Wold for a sum of $5,000.00. The site was purchased as the location for a second elementary school on the West Hill (Waller Road) portion of the district. The vision was to use the Lidford site in conjunction with a ten (10) acre County Park (i.e., Lidford Playfield) that is located directly to the north, across 60th Street E.

The Lidford site has approximately 1.1 acres and is rectangular in shape with street frontage on 60th Street E. and 44th Avenue E. This site is covered with a stand of second growth trees. The property slopes rather gently from the east property line downward towards the west property line.

This property is located in an unincorporated area of Pierce County and presently has a zoning designation of Rural Separator. One can locate the site by traveling west, out of the valley floor, on 72nd Street E., turning right on 44th Avenue E. and going north until you reach 60th Street E. The property lies on the south side of 60th Street E. and the left (west) side of 44th Avenue E.

Utilities are readily available to the site. In 1985, a power line easement was granted to the City of Tacoma for, and on behalf, of its Department of Public Utilities. However, the district reserved the right to revoke the easement and have the power lines removed at no cost to the district if the property were to be sold.

On June 19, 2017, by way ofResolution #227 2016-17, the Board ofDirectors declared the Lidford property surplus to the educational needs of the district. District staff has been authorized to pursue its sale and disposition.

This property was purchased in March of 1980 from Joseph and Barbara Masters for a sum of $125,606.00 (approximately $8,800.00 per acre). Given the growth that was taking place on South Hill, this site was purchased as the location for a future elementary school.

The Masters site has approximately 14.29 acres and is L-shaped with street frontage on 110th Avenue E. and 170th Street E. The site is covered with brush and what appears to be a stand of second growth trees. The property is level and rolling, sloping ever so gently from the east property line towards the west property line.

This property is located in an unincorporated area of Pierce County and due to 2003 zoning changes cannot be used as an elementary school at present. The site has a zoning designation of High Density Residential under the county's adoption ofthe South Hill Community Plan in 2004. The site is also located in the Thun Field Safety Zone 6 which limits the placement of a new elementary school within its boundaries. One can locate the site by traveling south on Meridian (SR 161 ), turning left on 152nd Street E. and going east until you reach 110th Avenue E., then turning right and heading south. The west property line of the Masters site is located approximately 480 feet north of the intersection of 110th Avenue E. and 170th Street E. on the left (east) side of 110th Avenue E.

A soils report prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Services for Pierce County issued in 1979 indicated that the Masters site has Indianola Loamy Sand on the largest portion of the site. This soil can support an on-site sewage system. Utilities are readily available, with public sewer being approximately two (2) blocks to the south. Other than the "Zone 6 Safety Zone" designation, this is an excellent building site.

The Board of Directors approved the purchase of a 43-acre parcel at their regular board meeting on July 1, 2020, via Resolution #225 2019-20 for the price of $2,025,000 dollars.

The undeveloped property is accessed from 144 St. E. (south) and from 134Ave. E. (east) on South Hill, just east of Hunt Elementary. Pierce County Parks purchased 100-acres due north of the site to develop in the future for passive recreation.

The site is situated between Glacier View Junior High and Ferrucci Junior High on the east side of Meridian on South Hill, an area of considerable new housing projected to be built over the next 20-year period. The 43+ acre site includes areas of suspected wetlands and utility easements. However, the net buildable acreage is sufficient to accommodate a new junior high school campus. The property purchase was completed on March 18, 2021. The site will be held by the district to accommodate long-term growth 15+ years in the future.

This property was originally purchased in April of 1986 from Donald and Edith Kessler for the sum of $320,000. Given the overall growth of the Puyallup School District, there was a need to establish greater central warehousing capacity. As a result, this site was purchased because it was centrally located within the Puyallup School District and because of its close proximity to Highway 512. In 2006, the district purchased two adjoining residential properties for expansion of the facilities.

The Warehouse site has approximately 19.2 acres with street frontage on 39Avenue SW and 17 Street SW in City of Puyallup. At the time of purchases there were a number of residential buildings on the properties. All of those buildings have been razed.

In 1987, the district constructed a Warehouse facility on the northern-most five (5) acres of the site. In 1998, the district constructed and opened the District Central Kitchen facility on the west side and adjacent to the Warehouse and in 2021, construction of the Kessler Center was completed along the frontage of 39" Avenue SW.

The southern portion of the Warehouse site is rectangular in shape and consists of approximately 9.6 acres. This portion of the Warehouse site contains a fenced enclosure for bus parking. The property is reasonably flat.

This property was purchased in May of 1970 from Bennie and Eva Berg for a sum of $15,000.00. Given the growth that was beginning on South Hill, this site was purchased as the location for a future elementary school.

The "Worm Farm" site has approximately 9.59 acres and is square in shape, with street frontage on 17th Street SW. The site is vacant except for scattered trees, mostly cedar, along the west property line and some blackberries near the south property line. At one time in the past, there were some outbuildings located along the north property line that the district rented to a gentleman who was commercially raising angle worms, hence, the property became affectionately known as the "Worm Farm" site. The property slopes gently downward from the south property line towards the north property line.

On January 1, 2009, the Worm Farm site property was annexed into the City of Puyallup as part of the "West Hills Annexation". The site is currently zoned as Public Facilities by the City of Puyallup. The northeast corner ofthe "Worm Farm" site is located approximately 375 feet south of the intersection of 23rd Avenue SW and 17th Street SW, on the west side of 17th Street.
