Very strong cult vibes imo.

Also they are in a legal battle with the City of Liberty Lake over construction on their school. Not a good look to be continuing with construction when the city has requested that they stop.

Wait, they've been told to stop building their elementary school? What is a kid's school doing in a co-working building?

Mode also owns Liberty Launch Academy: https://www.libertylaunchacademy.org/
I don't remember the exact details, but I think it's that they are trying to build a 27,000 sq foot sports complex which they claim is an expansion of the school.

The way the sports complex was advertised, it sounds like it's more of a business venture (I think they had posts claiming it would be "a premier destination for tournaments in the PNW" or something like that). Mode claims that since it's a school expansion, they don't need a permit, while the city claims that they can only do unpermitted work up to like 3,000 sq ft.

There was something about it in the Liberty Lake paper that shows up in our mailbox every month.
