In November, Foster/White will exhibit sculptures by renowned local artist, writer, and Lake Forest Park resident Tony Angell. Through close observations of the wildlife of the Pacific Northwest, Angell captures the unique personalities and characteristics of his subjects. This exhibition of recent work explores the complex relationships and dynamics of creatures large and small. Each sculpture is accompanied by a short narrative on the artist's observations.

On the exhibition, Angell states:

Company is essential to life. Not simply human to human. Over time I’ve become increasingly aware that either directly or indirectly our species is linked with an irreplaceable complexity of plants, animals and habitats that compose our home. Within this network, there are life sustaining connections between the species, and even habitat, some of which I celebrate here in sculptural form.

These connections have been fashioned by the powers of evolution and time. Herein is an assemblage of work conceived and developed from witnessing moments largely just outside my studio doors amid the woodlands, along streams and at the edge of the tides and throughout the seasons that each bring forward their own subtle, yet unique moments.

Tony Angell, Birds of Passage, 1/1, bronze on marble, 9.5 x 10.5 x 12.5 inches

When young falcons leave their eyries, they will often keep company for a brief period. I have had the opportunity to watch kestrels, merlins and peregrine's closely as they remain near their nests. Here a pair of young merlins, beginning explorations of our neighborhood, and the adjoining territories, are still within reach of their parents who will occasionally feed them as they develop their own hunting skills. They are birds of passage, into their first year of life and onto the adventures of adulthood. — Tony Angell on Birds of Passage

Tony Angell, Surf's Edge, 1/1, bronze on marble, 12.5 x 10.75 x 11 inches

In winter, along the outer edges of the sand spit that borders Fisherman Bay on Lopez Island, pairs and small assemblies of plovers fly. With velocity they move and turn with what seems to be instantaneous precision. One can only imagine the remarkable means of communication between them. Landing on the sands at the outer edges of a receding wave, with stout bodies and short legs they scurry over the surfaces probing for marine invertebrates. — Tony Angell on Surf's Edge

Spotlight: Shaking Up Shoreline: Sip Mobile Bartending Brings the Bar and the Hospitality to You

Local Spotlight brought to you by Kate Ledbetter, DestinationShoreline.com

 
Shaking Up Shoreline: Sip Mobile Bartending Brings the Bar and the Hospitality to You
 
A new Shoreline business is getting ready to roll, bringing restaurant-quality beverage service directly to celebrations throughout the region. Sip Mobile Bartending launched in August 2026 with a vision that goes beyond simply serving drinks. After 17 years of calling Shoreline home, owners Robb and Sarah are channeling their hospitality experience into a mobile bar built around attentive service and exceptional beverages. From private parties and backyard celebrations to corporate events, Sip plans to bring a little of Seattle's restaurant and cocktail culture wherever the party happens.
 
Q & A with Sip Mobile Bartending owners Robb and Sarah
 
Q: How long have you been in business?
A: We are a startup launching in mid-August 2026.
 
Q: What inspired you to start your business?
A: The desire to bring restaurant quality hospitality and quality beverage service to King, Snohomish, and Island Counties
 
Q: What service does your business provide for our community?
A: Alcoholic, non-alcoholic, and eventually coffee service to those in demand.
 
Q: What do you love the most about Shoreline?
A: The parks, people, the wide variety of food and sense of community.
 
Q: Why is your business based in Shoreline?
A: Sarah and I have lived in Shoreline for 17 years, after years of trying to bring a Seattle style dining restaurant and not succeeding, we believed the Mobile Bar Service was the best way to get started.
 
Q: What’s one thing you wish your customers knew about you but never ask?
A: That we care about the hospitality and service to our guests, not about our own sense of "Look at us self involvement".
 
Q: What’s inspires you each day?
A: Keeping alive guest first service and sustaining Seattle methodology of cocktail production.
 
Q: What has been your proudest moment in business so far?
A: Getting funding, and hearing the exciting response from people inside and outside of our immediate community.

Q: How do you approach customer service, and what sets you apart?
A: Listening to the client's needs, being honest with what services we provide, and referring the client to another vendor if need be.
 
Q: What advice would you give to someone starting a business in Shoreline?
A: Meet with your fellow residents, meet with those in city hall, and speak in front of City Council so that they know the challenges that prospective small businesses face.
 
Q: How does your business support or give back to the local community?
A: In the future I hope to employ local residents, especially younger people who need to learn a trade that will help them support themselves when they go to college, work on being in the trades, or take the time to decide what they want to do professionally.
 
Q: If you could change one thing about Shoreline, what would it be?
A: Put a proper restaurant in Shoreline Place!
 
Q: What future plans or goals do you have for your business?
A: Expand to a second beverage vehicle and eventually a brick and mortar restaurant bar that would compete with any restaurant bar in Seattle or the Eastside.
 
Q: What’s your next upcoming event?
A: Hopefully an introduction launch at a private property in Shoreline where we can test out our new bar truck, provide beverages free or at near free of charge, and use the event as a photo shoot by GoDaddy in order to have non-stock photos on our website and social media. Of course all guests will receive a waiver acknowledging their consent.
 
Q: What can Sip bring to your next event, private, corporate, or backyard celebration?
A: We will bring you honesty, and transparency in how we can provide you with a experience of hospitality and grace for you and your guest.

More Than Radios: How Shoreline ACS shares information when it matters most

The ACS van

By Jon Anscher

Ask most people what amateur radio operators do during an emergency, and they will describe someone sitting at a radio, passing messages. That picture is not wrong. But in Shoreline, it is increasingly incomplete.

Shoreline Auxiliary Communications Service has built a communications capability that spans voice, data, satellite, and digital messaging: designed to keep information moving when commercial systems are overloaded, damaged, or unavailable. 

Understanding what that means in practice helps explain why the organization invests so much in training, equipment, and coordination.

Built to keep working when other systems do not

Cell networks and internet service work well most of the time. But they depend on electricity, functioning equipment, and enough capacity to handle demand. In a major storm, earthquake, or prolonged outage, any of those can fail—sometimes all at once.

Drone exercise

Shoreline ACS is designed around a different assumption: that the systems everyone relies on daily will not always be there. So the organization maintains multiple, overlapping ways to send and receive information. Volunteers can communicate by voice over a network of repeaters that extends coverage across much of the north Puget Sound region. 

They can send structured messages (situation reports, resource requests, accountability records) by radio when internet access is gone. And when even that infrastructure is affected, the communications van carries satellite connectivity as an additional pathway.

The goal is simple: no single failure should cut off the flow of information.

From passing messages to building a picture

Getting information from point A to point B is necessary. But in a complex emergency, what responders often need is a clearer answer to a harder question: what is actually happening out there?

That is the idea behind ACEDIT (Shoreline ACS's Auxiliary Communications Emergency and Disaster Information Team). Rather than relaying messages one at a time, ACEDIT is designed to pull information together from multiple sources at once. 

Field volunteers can log locations, notes, and photos from the field. Drone feeds can be integrated in real time. All of it flows back to the communications van, where it can be shared with the agencies and commanders who need it.

The practical difference is significant. Instead of a series of individual updates, incident commanders get something closer to a running picture of conditions as they develop.

Participating in an exercise with WSDOT

Working within the system, not alongside it

Shoreline ACS does not show up to emergencies and improvise. Volunteers hold FEMA certifications and complete National Incident Management System training alongside their radio licenses. 

That means when they arrive at an activation—whether at the Shoreline Emergency Operations Center, alongside Shoreline Fire or Police, or with regional partners like the Northshore Emergency Management Coalition—they can step into an established structure and contribute without adding confusion.

Emergency response is a team effort. ACS is built to be a useful part of that team.

A capability built by neighbors

The systems described here exist because roughly 35 licensed volunteers have invested their time and expertise in building them. They come from backgrounds in engineering, law enforcement, public health, information technology, and emergency management. 

They train weekly, maintain equipment between activations, and show up at community events, at exercises, and when the call comes.

Most of the time, that work is invisible. That is the point.

Shoreline Farmers Market Director

The Shoreline Farmers Market sets up shop every Saturday through October from 10am to 2pm at the BikeLink Park 'n Ride 192nd and Aurora selling local produce and goods.

The Park 'n Ride is called "BikeLink" because it has lockers for bicycles. Just make sure you have a basket or a backpack so you can ride your bike to the market and get your purchases home!

The market director, new this year, is Ashley.

 
Hi everyone, my name is Ashley (they/she), I’m excited to step into the role of Executive Director at the Shoreline Farmers Market.

Ashley grew up in Mount Vernon

I bring nearly a decade of experience in farmers markets, starting on the farm side and growing into market management and programming.

Most recently, I held multiple roles across the Queen Anne Farmers Market and Phinney Ridge Farmers Market, where I worked as both a Market Coordinator and POP (Power of Produce) Coordinator—while continuing my work with a local farm.

That experience gave me a well-rounded perspective on markets from every angle: vendor, operations, and community programming.

I grew up in Mount Vernon—so yes, I’m inherently a huge tulip fan—and that agricultural connection has always shaped who I am. Farmers markets feel like home to me.

When I’m not at the market, you can usually find me at another one, or out in the mountains. I love everything about markets: the berries, the flowers, the people, and the sense of connection they create.

I’m passionate about creating spaces where vendors can thrive and where community members feel welcome and connected.

At the heart of my work is a strong belief that access to fresh, local food is a right. I’m committed to expanding food access and ensuring the Shoreline Farmers Market continues to serve and reflect the needs of its community.

Twenty-five years later, we remember September 11, 2001, and the lives forever changed that day.

For three nights—September 9 through 11—the training towers at Station 61 in Shoreline and Station 51 in Kenmore and our neighbors in Bothell, will be illuminated with two spotlights representing the Twin Towers. 

The lights serve as a tribute to the lives lost, and to the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and countless others who responded with courage and compassion.

We remember those who never made it home. We honor those who ran toward danger to help others. And we remember the families, friends, and communities who continue to carry their loss.

We will never forget.

--Shoreline Fire

Coyotes in Shoreline

Coyote in Shoreline
Photo by Susan Riley

Coyotes play an important role in our environment and we can coexist peacefully with them. 

If you see a coyote passing through your neighborhood, there is no need to report it. They are a natural part of our environment. 

However, to ensure the safety of you, your children, and your pets, it is important to keep a few things in mind.

The best strategy to prevent conflicts with coyotes is to avoid attracting them:

• Don’t leave small children unattended where coyotes are often seen or heard.
• Keep dogs and cats indoors, especially from dusk to dawn.
• Never ever feed coyotes, raccoons, squirrels. Do feed birds.
• Don’t give coyotes access to garbage or compost.
• Feed dogs and cats indoors or bring the food dishes in as soon as they are done.
• If you are feeding free-roaming cats, don't leave the food out, particularly at night.
• Prevent the buildup of feeder food under bird feeders.
• Enclose poultry and other small animals that live outdoors in a secure outdoor pen and house.

While curious by nature, coyotes are timid animals and will generally run away if challenged. If you come across a coyote who doesn’t run away when it sees you, quickly pick up small children or small pets.

If it comes towards you, act aggressively toward the coyote. Wave your arms, throw stones, and shout at the coyote. If necessary, make yourself look larger. 

Do not turn and run. If a coyote does not scare easily, it most likely has become accustomed to humans through food. People have either fed the coyote or left easily accessible food sources around their homes.

If a coyote continues to act aggressively or in an unusual way, then contact the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (WDFW) North Puget Sound office at 425-775-1311. In an emergency, dial 911.

WDFW handles wildlife management in the state. The Cities do not offer trapping, translocation, or lethal removal services. Only in extreme cases of a coyote acting aggressively will WDFW or the City act to remove the animal.

Washington challenges gutting of federal Endangered Species Act protections

Attorney General Nick Brown is co-leading a coalition of 21 attorneys general in two lawsuits to maintain protections for endangered and threatened species under threat by the federal administration.

One will be filed against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and another against FWS and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). 

The suits challenge new rules under the Endangered Species Act that make it easier for the federal government, private companies or individuals to modify or degrade the habitats of listed threatened and endangered species and leave threatened species without core protections, undermining Congress’ mandate when it passed the law.

“The federal government’s attempt to gut the Endangered Species Act threatens the habitats of orcas, sockeye salmon, and other endangered species that are part of our economy, culture, and way of life,” said Brown.

“These illegal actions ignore the will of Washingtonians and people across the United States, who overwhelmingly support protecting endangered species.”

The ESA protects more than 1,600 plant and animal species and millions of acres of critical habitat nationwide. Since the law’s passage, 99% of protected species have been saved from extinction, including the California condor, the grizzly bear, the peregrine falcon, the grey whale and the bald eagle.

These federal protections are essential to Washington’s conservation of the Southern Resident orca population. 

The Southern Resident population has declined since 1995, falling from 98 whales to 74 whales today. They were first listed as “endangered” under the ESA in 2005. The ESA’s habitat protections also play a critical role in conservation of Washington’s endangered and threatened salmon populations. These populations continue to face threats from habitat destruction, which would only increase if these rules go into place.

The coalition’s first lawsuit challenges the rescission of the longstanding regulatory definition of “harm.” Previously, the rule defined harm to include “significant habitat modification or degradation” that actually kills or injures wildlife by damaging species’ natural habitats and significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding, or sheltering. 

Rescinding this definition eliminates the ESA’s primary mechanism for protecting the habitats of listed species and makes it easier for them to be damaged or destroyed, even when that destruction ultimately threatens the survival of protected species.

The second lawsuit challenges two rule changes by FWS that reduce protections for threatened species and create a new process for designating areas as “critical habitat.” 

The first rule rescinds FWS’s regulations that automatically protect all newly listed threatened species, substantially increasing the risk newly threatened species will become endangered. 

The second rule weakens the ESA’s remaining mechanism for protecting species’ habitats by establishing a new process for designating areas as “critical habitat.” That new process makes it much easier for FWS to decline to include areas—in particular federal lands—as “critical habitat” even when those areas are relied on by endangered species. Research shows habitat loss is the primary cause of species decline and the loss of these protections will harm Washington’s imperiled species.

The coalition argues these rules are also contrary to the Administrative Procedure Act and National Environmental Policy Act.

Brown is co-leading these lawsuits with the attorneys general of California, Maryland, and Massachusetts. The suits are also joined by the attorneys general of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaiʻi, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
