most expensive high school?

Any sources for that claim? The wiki page for the high school itself contained nothing. Bigmak 19:59, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Error in pronouniaction

I found a mistake on this page, maybe vandalism, so I fixed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meerkatgirl (talk • contribs) 16:26, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK it wasn't a mistake, so I restored it. See the IPA link for an explanation of the symbols. kwami 02:54, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The first thing that's jumping out at me is the lack of images. The second half of the article would benefit from some pictures illustrating a neighborhood, city hall, park, etc. relevant to the text. That would help break down the wall of words.
- Added a few, but I'll have to drive around town to get some more with my new camera. Should be within the next few weeks, depending on the weather.
Source checks:
- checked all uses of ref#6. I found a couple of issues:
  - "From the waterfront terminal, automobiles were able to continue onto Mukilteo Boulevard" is not supported in the ref as far as I can tell.
    - Swapped for another citation from the same website.
  - "The recently-built Snohomish County Airport (later renamed Paine Field) southeast of the city was converted into a military base while retaining some civilian uses" the ref does not support "while retaining some civilian uses".
    - Same solution as above.
- Ref 13:
  - It is non-trivial to find the relevant pages in the document. Strongly suggest specifying individual pages for each citation.
    - Done, using the same format as the Comprehensive Plan.
  - "This exposed location was subject to bad weather and tides and thus the partners quickly moved their buildings to a more protected area along a rough trail that eventually became Front Street." The sentence partially supports the content, but I don't see how it supports "The town was relocated to the northeast of Point Elliott".
    - Tweaked, though the northeast progression could be supported by cobbling together maps of the current Front Street.
  - I am not sure how the source supports the sentence "During the Korean War, the loading dock was expanded with ten large storage tanks that were used to store jet fuel for military planes until 1989.", since it never mentions the Korean War.
    - Removed the Korean War mention. Seems that I mixed it up with Paine Field's re-activation for military use.
- AGF on other sources.
Other than this, I'm not seeing any issues which would preclude GA status. Thanks for your efforts to improve Puget Sound-area content!
- @Buidhe: Thanks for picking this one up for review. I've added a few images, but will need more time to take a few myself. Other than that, all of your comments on citations have been addressed. Sounder Bruce 06:14, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm going to go ahead and pass it. Obviously, it would be great if you took more pictures, but the GA criteria only require what's already on Commons. b uidhe 18:13, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
