Issaquah High graduation will be at Safeco Field

ISSAQUAH

Issaquah High School's class of 2000 will be the first to hold a high-school graduation at Seattle's Safeco Field.

The June 12 ceremony will take place in the infield, and the graduates will appear on the stadium's big TV screen as they receive their diplomas. Issaquah School District spokeswoman Mary Waggoner said limited seats have been a problem in the past, so a committee of students, parents and staff sought better accommodation for this year's graduating class of about 340.
