The Lake Washington School District #414 or LWSD is a public school district in King County, Washington, in suburbs east of Seattle. Its headquarters is in Redmond. As of 2020[update] it is the second-largest school district in Washington. It serves the region to the east of Lake Washington, one of the wealthiest in the Puget Sound area,[2] though some parts of the area are well under the poverty line.[3]
In October 2021, the district had a student enrollment of 30,500.[4]
The district was formed in 1944 by combining three smaller districts:[6]
