We invite you to the 16th annual North City tree lighting event. Bring the whole family to Lew 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.) We will have coffee and other refreshments 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.

This free event is sponsored by:

• Les Schwab
• The North City Neighborhood Association
• Anderson House
• The City of Shoreline
• The North City Water District
• Walgreens

“Find out what’s happening before the bulldozer shows up!”

Mark your calendar for the next North City Neighborhood Meeting!

Light rail is coming to North City, and the city is going to be making considerable zoning changes as part of the 185th Street Station Subarea Plan. The current “preferred alternative” under consideration would assign a MUR-85 designation — allowing the construction of seven story buildings — to significant portions of North City. The Planning Commission and City Council will be voting on the plan within the next few months, so the time to provide input is now.

At the November meeting, Miranda Redinger, Senior Planner for the City of Shoreline, will be giving a presentation to get us “caught up” on the zoning changes under consideration.

• What changes to expect
• Property value impact
• Building heights
• Parking
• Zoning definitions

There will also be a discussion on what opportunities there are to influence the decisions being made.

Please come!

Fred Kent, the President of Project for Public Spaces, calls Placemaking “the thing that turns a neighborhood, street, or city from a place you can’t wait to get through to one you never want to leave.” If you are a Shoreline resident who longs to make your neighborhood memorable, wonderful place, this workshop is for you.

This fun and high-energy workshop includes a working potluck dinner, fascinating placemaking concepts, inspiring case studies, and ample time to share and process your ideas. If you are creative, passionate, or simply curious about improving the function of your local public realm with “lighter, quicker, cheaper” placemaking projects, we invite you to come to the workshop and collaborate with like-minded neighbors.

Join the Shoreline Tree/PRCS Board at an open house on Thursday, January 23 from 6:00pm to 7:00pm in the Shoreline City Hall Council Chambers to learn about the City’s efforts to develop an Urban Forest Strategic Plan for the City.

An outline of the development of the strategic plan will be discussed. Guests are encouraged to ask questions, provide comments, and weigh in on the top priorities for the City’s urban forestry program. Board members, staff and consultant Elizabeth Walker, Consulting Urban Forester, of Terra Firma Consulting will be available to discuss this exciting project.

The development of this strategic plan is a collaborative process between City staff, the advisory Tree Board (PRCST Board), and the public, facilitated by an urban forestry consultant.
