On February 9, 4:00pm, there will be a rare opportunity to tour the Activities Building at Fircrest. Jeff Flesner, the new Superintendent, will show participants what is inside the building, ncluding the basketball court, gym, stage, bleachers, meeting rooms, kitchen, banquet room, and the two swimming pools (currently closed). Jeff will also answer questions about how the facility can be used. To get to the Activities Building, enter the main Fircrest gate off 15th Avenue NE (between NE 152st and 152nd Street); take a sharp left, and the building is on the right.

A great Halloween celebration was had by all at the recent Hamlin Haunt.

Thank you Christopher King for the pictures and video.

Fun for all…

…and hot drinks

Warm drinks were provided by the North City Neighborhood Association.

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.

Shoreline Walks is a community walking program to help Shoreline adults stay active, meet new people (or connect with old friends) and feel safer and more confident exploring our city by foot. Walks explore neighborhoods, parks and trails offering great insight into some of the best walking routes in our City. Specifically designed for adults ages 50+ but open to all ages and abilities, each walk is led by a Volunteer Walk Leader and all walks are free to the public.

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.

The United Way of King County and AARP provide free tax help to low and moderate income families.

Help is available at the Shoreline Library starting on February 1 on Thursdays from 4:30–8:00PM and Saturdays from noon–4:00PM. For more information see this flyer
