Shoreline Comes Together for North City Station!
Posted on to News
Last month, a cleanup event was held at the site of the proposed North City Station. About 100 neighbors, recruited by the North City Neighborhood Association, Urbanist Shoreline, Salvation Artists & Makers Collective, and the City of Shoreline, joined forces for a work party that made a solid impression and a tangible improvement to the vacant site. The Shoreline Tool Library brought tools, equipment, and even more volunteers to help the effort.
We're grateful for all the partners and community members that volunteered their time and energy to organize and participate in this event! Shoreline Mayor Betsy Robertson, Washington State Senator Jesse Salomon; both of whom have demonstrated support for this project, showed up with gloves on, ready to help. At least 3 full containers of waste and several truckloads of vegetation were cleared from the site.
The project has a ways to go before becoming realized, but the strong support of the community creates positive momentum. It also saves the city precious capital resources required to make North City Station a reality. There will be more opportunities to continue this work. We hope you can join us!
