Woodinville is a small, up-and-coming town half an hour northeast of Seattle with a population of 14,000. In 2001, the town proposed a civic campus project to enhance the burgeoning community’s existing character and charm. The project, currently known as the School House District, centers around the Old Woodinville School House in existence since the 1900s.
