North City Station, a new public gathering spot, is coming soon to the site of the old lawn mower shop at NE 185th & 10th NE!!!! This currently vacant site, adjacent to North City’s Rotary Park and near the 185th Street Link Station, will soon become a temporary public space for events, food trucks, art, and culture. But first, it needs a serious glow-up!

Join the North City Neighborhood Association, Urbanist Shoreline, Salvation Artists and Makers Collective, the City of Shoreline, and many of your neighbors for a spring cleanup volunteer event at this future community hub.

There’s a lot of work to do, but we’ll make it fun! We will provide tools and cleaning supplies, coffee, and snacks. Come get your hands dirty and celebrate the awesome community space that's coming soon!

RSVP is requested, but not required.

Despite a bit of rain last Saturday, about 20 neighbors came together and made a huge difference in North City for the NCNA North City CleanUp Day! Armed with gloves, bags, and incredible community spirit, volunteers tackled:

• 15th Ave NE
• NE 175th Street
• NE 180th Street
• 10th Ave NE
• NE 185th St around the light rail station.

Special Thanks: A huge shoutout to Mary Ann Higgins and Jaclyn Newman for their participation in the North City CleanUp. NCNA asked for help with the event organization and these two really stepped up and owned the logistics. Their leadership made this possible!

And of course, the biggest thank you to every single volunteer who showed up and stuck it out through the rain. You all proved that a little weather can't dampen North City's community spirit!

Stay Tuned: We're already planning another cleanup for late summer before the weather turns – watch this space for details!

This is what community is all about. North City, you showed up and showed out!
