SUMAS, Wash. – After multiple years of the pandemic and the terrible floods last fall, Sumas residents and Lynden-based Faber Construction are celebrating the completion of the brand new Sumas Elementary School.

The over 50,000 square-foot campus that is part of the Nooksack Valley School District will open for it’s first day of school this August 31st.

The president of Faber construction called the project one of the companies proudest achievements, considering the hardships faced since breaking ground in 2020 and the fact that many of its employees, including the superintendent of the project, grew up in the local school district.
