No Echo Lake Neighborhood Association meeting this month.

We are planning to sponsor Earth day events this month in lieu of a meeting.

For this year’s Earth Day weekend, ELNA is hosting 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.

Download the iNaturalist app (not the Seek option; 'Connect with Nature' on iPhone) to your phone (you can do that now) and set up an account if you do not already have one. Our local events are part of the "City Nature Challenge 2024 - Seattle-Tacoma" project. (There are helpful hints on the Registration page)

When you are in one of the parks choose a plant and take a photo, following instructions on the app. 

The schedule is as follows:

Friday, April 26, 11am, at Shoreline Park, 9030 1st Ave NE

Joy Wood of Green Shoreline Partnership,

Saturday, April 27, 10am, at Densmore Pathway (188th between Ashworth and Densmore)

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.

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.
