Estimated at $125 million to $150 million, the cost of moving Cascadia seemed to kill the notion for now. “It seems to be a moot discussion at this point,” said Cascadia President William Christopher regarding the possibility of merging Cascadia into the campus of Lake Washington Technical College in Kirkland.
