Stewardship Foundation supports Salmon in Schools at four local elementary schools

Three cheers for salmon in the schools!

It’s that wonderful time of year again, when local streams and ponds come alive with the excitement of annual salmon releases. Families, students, and community members gather to celebrate the journey of young coho salmon as they begin life in our local waters.

The Stewardship Foundation supports Salmon in Schools at four local elementary schools: Lake Forest Park, Brookside, Briarcrest, and Ridgecrest.

In January, coho salmon eggs are placed in tanks at each school. Over the next few months, students carefully monitor the water quality and temperature as the eggs hatch into alevin and then grow into fry.

Through related curriculum, students learn about the challenges salmon face and how to be good stewards of our waterways to help the salmon survive. By spring, the sturdy young salmon are ready to be released into the wild.

Stewardship Foundation volunteers help Lake Forest Park, Briarcrest, and Ridgecrest students release their salmon at the Grace Cole Nature Park ponds, the headwaters of Brookside Creek.

Brookside Elementary releases its salmon directly into a stream at the edge of the schoolyard (Hillside Creek), which flows into Brookside Creek.

From there, the salmon continue through McAleer Creek to Lake Washington, where their journey to the sea begins. If you have an elementary school student, join them this month in wishing the fish a safe journey to sea (and back)!

Sign-wavers message: Change is needed and your vote counts

At the Shoreline-Edmonds line -
Sign-wavers message: Change is needed and your vote counts!

News of authoritarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban conceding the election in Hungary drew cheers as word passed through the crowd at the regular Sunday's sign-waving at the Shoreline-Edmonds line.

Vote out GOP

Nearly 70 people had turned out on the cloudy afternoon, including one young girl attending her first protest with relatives who are regular attendees.

Many expressed hope similar peaceful change will occur with American voters turning out at both the 2026 midterm and 2028 elections.

A recycled sign now reads
No IraN War

As always, subjects of concern on the signs were many, with
the war in Iran,
Russian President Vladimir Putin's influence on President Trump,
concern for the rule of law,
the shocking treatment of immigrants,
corruption,
the GOP-led Congress refusing to conduct needed oversight,
undue billionaire influence,
catastrophic funding cuts to essential government programs, and many more all making appearances.

Join us every Sunday 1-2pm:
Help defend democracy

Additional "Social Justice Sundays" sign-waving this month is planned for April 19 and 26, 1-2pm, at the same location (intersection of Aurora Avenue North and N 205th St.).

Bring a sign or just yourself and stand up for democracy, your grandchildren or someone else's, and a peaceful, prosperous future for this country.

Non-perishable food and toiletry donations for a local charity are accepted.

Two Shoreline College students named to 2026 All-Washington Academic Team

Shoreline College students Atanu Baishnab and Camelia Liang have been selected for the 2026 All-Washington Academic Team.

This recognition honors academic excellence and community service among students at Washington’s 34 community and technical colleges.

Ninety-five students from across the state earned a spot on this year’s team, and each will receive a medallion and a $210 scholarship check from KeyBank. Additionally, Atanu and Camelia both ranked among the Top 16 in the state, earning each of them an additional $780 scholarship check from WSECU.

Atanu Baishnab

Atanu Baishnab is an engineering student who plans on transferring to Seattle Pacific University. While living in Bangladesh, Atanu worked for many years to earn enough money to study in the United States.

“I had no financial support, so I depended fully on myself. I worked all kinds of jobs and ran small side businesses to keep saving.”

Atanu wants to build a career where he can “contribute to the world by building better systems that support industries, create jobs, and help communities grow.”

On campus, Atanu provides support and mentorship to other students through his work as a Resident Assistant and his service on the Associated Student Government.

Camelia Liang

Camelia Liang is a nursing student whose educational goals include earning both bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Her career pathway became clear to her at 8 years old when, sitting in a hospital while her mother was in surgery, a nurse held her hand.

“At that moment, I realized that nurses are a source of security for all patients and their families, and I decided to dedicate myself to becoming the nurse I once needed.”

In addition to her schoolwork, Camelia devotes time to volunteering at organizations such as Seattle Children’s Hospital and the University of Washington Medical Center.

The All-Washington Academic Team is supported by the Washington Association of Community and Technical Colleges, the Washington State Association of College Trustees, the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges, and Phi Theta, Kappa.

Scholarship support for students on the All-Washington Academic Team comes from KeyBank, Washington State Employee Credit Union, and the Washington State Association of College Trustees.

This year’s ceremony for the All-Washington Team will take place on April 23, 2026, at the South Puget Sound Community College Lacey Campus. Additional information is available on the SPSCC website.

8 story multifamily development near Shoreline South light rail station

Architect's rendering of The Leeway, under construction near Shoreline South light rail station

One of the new multi-family housing projects being built across the freeway from the Shoreline South light rail station is the Leeway.

At more than 400,000 square feet and eight stories encompassing 360 units, Leeway in Shoreline is one of the largest mixed-use developments in the area.

Tiscareno Architects integrated over 3,000 square feet of retail space in a way that helps differentiate one end of the building from the other.

The project type is planned for five stories of Type III-A construction (protected wood-frame interior, noncombustible exterior) built atop three stories of Type I-A construction (fire-resistive concrete/steel), with 249 structured parking stalls, mostly below grade.

Construction began in March 2026 and is anticipated to be completed in Summer of 2028.

It will join its companion building The Line.

According to the Daily Journal of Commerce, the Leeway, at 142 NE 147th, will have a long, skinny footprint. It will look south to both The Line and Shea Properties 550 unit Verdant, also on the corner of 1st NE.

Op-Ed: Participating in sign-wavings gives me hope

Photo by Pam Cross

By Pam Cross

About 50 regulars were at the intersection today. I had to skip last week but, like an addiction, I couldn’t stay away for another.

Every time I look at the paper or watch the news I get angry. Every day seems to be worse than the last.

Participating in this weekly event brings me hope. We are all angry and the positive feedback we are getting from passing drivers gives me hope that others are angry too.

At this point it is hard to know what to put on to make a new sign because there is one abomination after another. Far too much for a single sign.

Why are farmers angry they are losing workers to ICE when they voted for the current administration?

If you did what you could to avoid getting drafted, what makes you think you should mandate a new draft?

The signs tell a story: We do not want a war. We do not want higher prices. We want the peace and prosperity we were promised during the presidential campaign.

We do not want a national religion. We want to keep the freedom to follow our individual beliefs.

We want to stop being lied to every single day.

We want Congress to start representing the people again.

We want to keep the right to vote. Healthcare. Food we can afford. Gas and utilities we can afford.

We want our country back.

“Canopy Award” given to Save Shoreline Trees

By Kathleen Russell

At their inaugural “Canopy Awards” on April 9, 2026, the Trees & People Coalition “celebrating innovation, stewardship, and community through trees” recognized Save Shoreline Trees in the category of Community Outreach and Educational Programs.

This award acknowledges Save Shoreline Trees' work on the retention of the 94 trees lining Dayton Ave N between N 155th and N 160th retained by the PermaTrak boardwalk which protects the roots of the trees.

Save Shoreline Trees was formed in late 2019 when the WA State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) was renovating its headquarters at 15700 Dayton Ave N.

WSDOT's remodel permit required frontage improvements and 133 trees, mostly Doug firs, were at risk. SST supporters called attention to a potential environmental disaster.

WSDOT, not wanting to cut down the trees, took the lead to resolve the conflict. In 2021, the City of Shoreline approved the WSDOT alternative for the elevated PermaTrak boardwalk.

A memorandum of agreement was reached between WSDOT and the City that these trees are managing the stormwater infrastructure, making a man-made structure unnecessary. The 94 tall trees along Dayton are standing today due to the efforts of the community, WSDOT, and the City working together to find a solution.

SST continues to work for the retention of tall and native trees in Shoreline.

This effort is in accordance with Shoreline’s 2044 Comprehensive Plan Natural Environment goal to: “Maintain and increase the urban tree canopy to provide wildlife habitat, support community resilience, mitigate urban heat, manage stormwater, conserve energy, protect and improve mental and physical health, and strengthen economic prosperity.”

Year round, these trees sequester carbon, clean the air and cool our neighborhoods.

Additional honorees recognized by the Trees & People Coalition included Crow Woods Cohousing Community, A Windermere Garden, Valley School Outdoor Classroom and Amphitheater, and Robert Eagle Staff Forest.

Appreciation to the Trees & People Coalition and Seattle Parks Foundation for celebrating community through trees.

Seattle City Light testing new unplanned outage notifications

Seattle City Light is testing a new unplanned power outage notification system to alert customers about power outages and restorations via text or email. Log in to your Utility Services website account to verify your information to ensure you receive these timely alerts.

During this pilot phase, only outages affecting a small number of customers will trigger an alert. Large and high-volume outages will not be included until full implementation.

At City Light, we strive to provide the best possible customer service. With this new feature, we can proactively communicate with customers when outages occur and when they are resolved. We understand that unplanned outages are inconvenient.

Letting our customers know when their homes and businesses are affected allows them to make informed decisions, whether that means working from another location, picking up dinner on the way home, or staying with friends and family.

How does it work?

When a power outage affects your service address, text and email alerts will be sent out within 5-10 minutes. Communications will be sent from either 888-442-7594 or no-reply@seattle.gov notifying you of an outage at your home or business. Save this phone number and email address to your contacts to ensure swift and efficient delivery.

Once power is restored at your home or business, we will alert you that the power is back on.

Customers who already have a cell phone number or email address associated with their City Light accounts will automatically be enrolled to receive alerts. Participation in the system is free. However standard text and data rates may apply.

To set your preferences or to opt-out of receiving alerts, follow the instructions on this page.

Secretary Steve Hobbs: The President has no authority over elections

President Trump issued an executive order instructing his administration to create a list of voters in each state deemed “eligible” and bars the U.S. Postal Service from delivering ballots to voters not on that list.

It would mandate voters in federal elections provide documents proving their citizenship and deny those whose registration does not match their birth certificate such as women who take their husband's surname.

The order also would prohibit the counting of absentee or mail-in ballots that are received after Election Day. Washington requires a postmark before the deadline and counts the ballots.

Statement from Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs:

OLYMPIA - The President has no authority over elections; the United States Constitution grants that authority exclusively to states and Congress. This latest federal executive order does nothing to improve that and would jeopardize citizens’ lawful right to vote. We are reviewing the executive order and will take any necessary action to protect Washington’s elections.

Washington’s vote-by-mail elections reflect decades of secure and accurate elections, removing barriers to citizens who want to participate in our democratic process.

Voting fraud is incredibly rare. There have been just 15 cases of noncitizen voting in Washington between 1982 and 2025 or 0.000006% of ballots cast. When issues do occur, our system is designed to identify and resolve them swiftly.

Washington ensures that elections are secure by regularly reviewing its voter rolls and makes voting easy by sending ballots to all registered voters. The President’s attempt to prevent registered voters from receiving ballots is unconstitutional and unfair to voters.

Washington continues to improve voter access while maintaining the integrity of our elections. Elected officials should be doing everything to protect the constitutional rights of Washington voters, not making it harder.

Washington’s Office of the Secretary of State oversees areas within state government including managing state elections, registering corporations and charities, and governing the use of the state flag and state seal.

Around Town: An abundance of beauty

Saturday, April 11, 2026

An abundance of beauty surrounds us, captured by Lee Lageschulte in her travels around town.

400 feet of 35th Ave NE in Lake Forest Park will be closed overnight Sunday April 12

The WSDOT contractor working on the sewer system near Ballinger Way is planning for a full overnight closure of about 400 feet of 35th Avenue NE at the intersection of SR 104/Ballinger Way NE from 8pm Sunday night, April 12, to 6am Monday, April 13.

The contractor intends to activate the sewer bypass system and dewatering wells during this overnight shift.

If there are complications overnight Sunday, the contractor could need intermittent closures on SR 104, 35th Avenue NE, and/or NE 185th Street during the same overnight hours Monday night, April 13, to Tuesday morning, April 14, to finish work.

Again, these closure(s) are necessary only if the bypass is not active by Monday morning. Flaggers and signed detours will get people around construction one or both nights as needed.

Getting the bypass and dewatering systems online are a major milestone that will allow the transition to daytime sewer installation.
