Transportation

School bus

Special Education students will receive a phone call from their child's bus driver prior to school start, informing them of busing information for the year.

Phone: 425-936-1120
Email: busroutes@lwsd.org

Riding the bus

The Lake Washington School District provides transportation services to students who live outside a one-mile radius from their school of residence. However, if the district has assessed the walk routes and found no safe paths within that one-mile radius, exceptions may be made.

Within a school’s boundary:

  • Elementary students are encouraged to walk up to one and a half miles to school.
  • Middle and high school students can walk up to two miles.

Students whose walk distances exceed these limits are eligible for bus service. These guidelines are used to establish all walk boundaries for the Lake Washington School District.
