Come to City sponsored open house to provide your input on design of Shoreline light rail stations & facilities.

In 2016, Sound Transit will begin the final design phase for the Lynwood Link light rail extension that will run through Shoreline. As part of that effort, beginning in mid-2016, Sound Transit will hold three public open houses to gather input on the design of the stations and related facilities at N 145th and N 185th Streets.

To ensure the community’s interests are adequately represented during Sound Transit’s design phase, the City will develop a set of guiding principles to help guide the design of the light rail stations and facilities in Shoreline.

On January 27, the City will hold an open house to gather your input. The open house will provide:

• Background for the process to date and how to participate moving forward
• An opportunity to comment on Draft Guiding Principles for Light Rail Facility Design
• Images of possible design elements for stations and garages

For more information contact Miranda Redinger.

This new event came into being based on the feedback from 2015 Jazz Walk. Overwhelmingly, Jazz Walk attendees wanted an opportunity to have other musical gatherings more often than the annual event.

Five venues in North City will be participating this year. They will begin serving food at 6:00. The music will begin at 7:00 and there will be three forty-five minute sets. Tickets are $12.

The Blues Fest is sponsored by the North City Business Association. See their website for further details.

We invite you to the 17th annual North City tree lighting event. Bring the whole family to Les Schwab at 180th & 15th Ave NE to help light the 25 foot “tree” on top of the North City water tower.

There will be live music and children can have their pictures taken with Santa courtesy of the North City Walgreens.) Coffee and other refreshments will be provided to help keep you warm, so don’t let the weather keep you from coming out.

We will be collecting non-perishable food items for Hopelink.

The Shoreline PRCS will be hosting the Hamline Halloween Haunt on Friday, October 23.

Join your neighbors while we listen to spooky songs and stories, toast marshmallows around a campfire, ride the hay wagon, play Halloween games, and have our faces painted.

Dress warmly and bring a flashlight.

See the PRCS events listing for more information.

On May 20th, the city will host an open house regarding the 145th Street Multimodal Corridor Study currently being performed by the City of Shoreline.

145th Street (SR 523), which borders Shoreline and Seattle, is a major east-west travel corridor connecting north King County with Aurora Avenue (SR-99), Lake City Way (SR 422), and a future light rail station near I-5. The City of Shoreline is leading a corridor study to address traffic congestion, and improve safe pedestrian, bike and transit access.

If you have questions, please contact Catherine Lander at clander@shorelinewa.gov or (206) 801-2415.
