Shoreline Changes and Plans for the Future

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Greater Seattle

For those of you who have the privilege of living in Shoreline, you know that it is a great city. Shoreline was featured in Seattle magazine as the #1 best neighborhood in the Seattle area. We have a lot to be proud of! We are an ever growing city that just seems to be getting better and better.

When I first moved here in 1997, the city looked very different than it does today. Where Central Market is today was an old Thriftway store. Top Food & Drug on 175th used to be a run down framing shop and grocery store. The mini mall and John L. Scott real estate office just off of Aurora across from Fred Meyer once sat an outdated mini mall and QFC store. And in 2008 we welcome a new addition to our city. At about 190th and Aurora, construction is underway for a new YMCA, senior housing, and other affordable housing options. Major public improvements like the North City Project and the Interurban Trail have also been added for better enjoyment to our citizens.

We are an ever changing city and with each change comes great improvement for our residants and the property values of the homes they live in. The City of Shoreline wants to create a shared vision for the city and wants your input.

Shoreline City Council is currently drafting a vision for the future that will guide Shoreline's growth and development for years to come. What Shoreline attributes or characteristics would you like to see preserved or improved? How can we meet the challenges of anticipated growth in a way that keeps this the #1 place to live in the greater Seattle region? What changes in technology, society or the way we live do you envision by 2028?

City Council is asking residents to take part in this process and get involved in community conversations about Shoreline's future. Meetings to discuss the vision for Shoreline's future will be held in October through the city in it's various neighborhoods. Check out the link below for the calendar of meetings in your area and get involved. Shoreline needs your experience, your ideas, and your opinions to turn our shared vision for Shoreline's future to become a reality.
