Order an Image
The one-room Oak Lake School opened in 1886 near what is now Washelli Cemetery, north of Seattle. For many years Oak Lake was the only school in the northern part of King County. After several moves and additions, the school opened its first permanent building in 1914 at 10040 Aurora Avenue North.

This photo shows Oak Lake School's brick building on Aurora Avenue sometime around 1920. The students and teachers are lined up on the lawn for their photograph. In the 1990s, Shoreline's Oak Tree Theater occupies the school's last site.
