Perfect blue skies to watch the banners get installed! Thirteen North City banners were put up today – part of our effort to enhance the cityscape in our little town. This project was funded by a mini-grant from the City of Shoreline.
Many thanks to the City of Shoreline Neighborhoods Coordinator, Constance Perenyi, for helping us navigate the city's requirements with a minimum of hassle and a maximum of speed and efficiency.
We will need to support ongoing maintenance and any future banner projects on our own and will be working on fundraising to that end. Stay tuned!

The banner poles in North City have been looking a bit lonely lately. We're excited to announce that we qualified for a neighborhood grant from the City of Shoreline to have new banners created and installed! We will be posting updates as the work gets completed, which should be before the end of this year.

Join us Thursday, August 12 for a casual meetup outdoors at the Monka Brewing Co. There's no formal agenda – we simply want to meet with neighbors and catch up.
The North City Neighborhood Association has been using the COVID lockdown period as a time to re-focus our efforts. We've created a board structure, shored up our legal standing, and are looking forward to building a vibrant organization that can help build community in our growing neighborhood.
Stop by to say hello, support a local business, and learn about some of our plans for 2021 and beyond!
PS: The need for food remains great in our City, and Hopelink is serving more people than ever. The City of Shoreline is coordinating food drive efforts with a Can Castle Contest. We will accept any donations at the meetup event and bring them to the Food Drive at City Hall.

There used to be a fair amount of horsetail (equisetum) growing in the Gateway planters. Since we've replanted them, it doesn’t want to go away without a fight.

Digging or pulling the horsetail out is not practical. It is impossible to get all the roots — any bits left will continue to grow. The best approach is to keep snipping of any shoots it sends up. That depletes the roots of energy, eventually doing them in.
If you happen to be by the planter and see some horsetail, help us out and cut off any shoots!

Also, remember that we can use help watering, too!

Please help us water the new plantings at the North City Gateway (NE 175th and 15th NE)! They need to be watered twice a day through the summer hot season.
To volunteer to water the plants, sign up here.
There are 2 high planter boxes as well as the lower area beneath the North City sign.
Please bring your own water, 5 gallons at the minimum. Gallon jugs with caps work well. A watering can or a bucket in a box will prevent it from toppling over in your car.
As long as the Animal Medical Center parking lot is not full, we have permission to park there while watering since watering won't take much time.
Thank you!
