Meeting with Surface water Management of City of Shoreline

City of Shoreline staff John Featherstone and Stefan Grozev at the May 21, 2024 meeting of the Echo Lake Neighborhood Association (ELNA) as we explore historical, current, and future perspectives on surface water for the Echo Lake neighborhood, for Echo Lake, and the surrounding areas.


We went over current water quality monitoring programs, redevelopment standards for the Echo Lake watershed, and other City programs that have an impact on stormwater runoff and the health of the lake.

No Echo Lake Neighborhood Association meeting this month.

We sponsored Earth day events this month in lieu of a meeting.

For this year’s Earth Day weekend, ELNA hosted five interactive events, each consisting of a featured speaker followed by a "Bioblitz" gathering.

A bioblitz is a communal citizen-science effort to record as many species within a designated location and time period as possible. The first BioBlitz was held in Washington, D.C. in 1996. Approximately 1000 species were identified at this first event.

Echo Lake Neighborhood Association Monthly meeting.

Who needs green beer when you have green parks and gardens?

Tuesday March 19, 2024 Echo Lake Neighborhood Association meeting. Nick Borer, Shoreline Parks Manager.

So many of our activities focus on our parks. Speaking of which, we'll have updates from our members on the Densmore Pathway, Echo Lake Park, Shoreline Park, Midvale Gardens.

Also the Transit Station and the Loo.

And a wonderful new program for Earth Day - the BioBlitz.


February 20, 2024

Presentations on two exciting local projects.

The Tool Library is up and running and they just added a bicycle repair station. It's a big space in a building on Aurora you probably never noticed before. You'll want to notice it now because it is full of tools you can check out, use, and return. It's also a place you can donate tools when you start clearing out your garage.

Firlands Way is a project in the making. It is part of the original road through Shoreline. Now there is energy behind making community gathering space.  "Learn about the history of Shoreline's first Main Street and how it could be connected with a wide street to create a local place to gather and recreate."


Slides from the February 20 presentations.

The Board of the Echo Lake Neighborhood Association is deeply saddened to report the passing of long time board member and consummate volunteer, Jeanne Monger.

Her obituary and memory page are online on Dignity Memorial. It's a wonderful accounting of her many contributions to ELNA and the wider Shoreline and Lake Forest Park community.
