Arts center foundation donates $1M for facility

The Northshore Performing Arts Center Foundation recently presented a $1 million check to the Northshore School District to help pay for construction of a new performing arts venue.

The 600-seat Northshore Performing Arts Center opened earlier this year at Bothell High School. It was part of a 2002 bond measure.

In 1994, the City of Bothell, the school district and the arts center foundation formed a partnership to build the facility.

In all, the foundation contributed $3.5 million, including $1 million for an endowment.
