Join us for information about Urbanist Shoreline and proposed Regional Fire authority.

Urbanist Shoreline

"We're a group of Shoreline residents who believe that our city can be welcoming, accessible, connected, safe, green, and joyful. We believe civic life is for everyone, and that getting involved in your community shouldn't require any special skills. We believe in fighting hard for the liveable city we want to see, and in having fun and making friends along the way!"

Regional Fire Authority

Information from the Shoreline Fire Department about the proposed Regional Fire Authority on the ballot in February 2025.

Regional Fire Authority Ballot Measure 

SHORELINE FIRE DEPARTMENT

NORTHSHORE FIRE DEPARTMENT

PROPOSITION 1

The Shoreline and Northshore Fire Departments have adopted a Joint

Resolution approving the Shoreline Regional Fire Authority Plan (“Plan”)

creating a Regional Fire Authority (“RFA”).

This proposition would approve the Plan to create the Shoreline Fire

Department RFA, effective May 1, 2025, to provide fire protection and

emergency medical services. The RFA funding is based on a property tax

of $.70 per thousand of assessed value, and a fire benefit charge. The

funding would replace the current property tax levies and fire benefit

charges collected by the Shoreline and Northshore fire districts.

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.
