2002 Building for Learning: Seattle Public School Histories, 1862-2000. Seattle, WA: Seattle School District.
Read an abridged version of the book at http://www.seattleschools.org/area/historybook/index.dxml
"I thought it would be fun to dig up what I could about Jefferson School. … [The district archivist] recommended a book called Building for Learning, probably in the Seattle Public Library.
It was.
… It was a goldmine of information about Seattle Public Schools from 1862 through 2000. The book was very professionally compiled … by Nile Thompson and Carolyn J. Marr on behalf of Seattle Public Schools … It is such a valuable source, I ran down a paperback edition at the U-Dub Book Store as a permanent addition to my library."
