Shoreline Council to vote on Meridian Park School Zone cameras

By Oliver J Moffat
The Shoreline city council will vote on automated cameras to catch school zone speeders at Meridian Park Elementary on 175th Street at their meeting on Monday, March 30, 2026.
Students walking or biking to Meridian Park Elementary must cross a four-lane road with heavy traffic and use the narrow strips along the shoulders of 175th where there are no sidewalks.
The 175th Street corridor is Shoreline’s most dangerous city-owned road, and Meridian Park has more vehicle traffic than any other school.
Parents and crossing guards have repeatedly lobbied the city to take action with petitions and accounts of terrifying "close calls" in the school zone.
Every school day, drivers from Shoreline’s westside neighborhoods (like Richmond Beach and Innis Arden) use 175th to access the nearby freeway onramp to I-5.

Last year, a city report found 1,031 speeders on average school days while children were coming and going to Meridian Park and the 20 mph speed zone lights were flashing. Alarmingly, 59% of those drivers sped by Meridian Park at over 30 mph while children were arriving and leaving school.
But, while neighboring cities of Edmonds, Lynnwood, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, and Seattle all have implemented school zone cameras, Shoreline has not.
At the Monday, March 30, 2026 meeting, the Shoreline City Council will vote on a proposed ordinance to authorize automated traffic safety cameras in school zones and specifically for the Meridian Park Elementary school zone at Meridian Avenue N and N 175th Street.
The proposed fines would start at $130 for speeding between 4mph and 13mph over the 20mph school zone limit. The fine could be $260 for lead-foots speeding faster than 33 mph in the 20 mph school zones.
As required by state law, fines are reduced by 50% for poor people receiving public assistance.
Multiple studies show school zone cameras make roads safer.
After Lake Forest Park activated school zone cameras at Brookside Elementary, average speeds dropped from over 30mph to 24.3mph. And Seattle reported a 71% reduction in crashes in areas where school speed zone cameras are active.
However, the plan has sparked intense debate over equity and privacy.
Councilmember Keith Scully has criticized the proposed $130 to $260 fines as regressive, arguing they disproportionately penalize low-income families.
Under state law, any excess revenue must be used for traffic safety improvements in low-income neighborhoods and roads with higher-than-average injury crashes.
Some opponents also worry that automated enforcement could pave the way for broader surveillance.
Unlike Flock Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) surveillance cameras, school zone cameras are event-triggered and only take pictures when the radar detects a speeder. The cameras can only record license plates and the outside of the vehicles; they cannot record the faces of drivers or passengers.
The photos cannot be released to the public and cannot be used in court against people for proceedings unrelated to the traffic violation. The camera data can only be used for processing the specific school zone infractions and can’t be shared with Federal or outside law enforcement agencies.
Some critics say redesigning the road would be more effective than automated enforcement.
The city’s 175th Street Corridor Improvements Project would widen the road to add vehicle capacity and shared-use paths for pedestrians and bikes.
In 2024, when Council members Keith Scully and Annette Ademasu called on city engineers to shrink multi use path widths near Meridian Park to reduce tree impacts, staff warned that eliminating space for bikes could conflict with Shoreline’s "Complete Streets" ordinance and make the project less competitive for future grants.
The city will need those grants if the project is ever to be completed; most recent estimates show the costs escalating over $90 million with no scheduled completion date in sight.
If the council approves, a 30-day warning period could start as soon as December 2026, with actual tickets starting in January of 2027.
Information about attending the city council meeting and providing public comments is available on the city’s website.

Costco conquers the world
Costco Wholesale Corp. maintained momentum during its holiday quarter with better-than-expected earnings and sales fueled by strong consumer demand in-store and online.
On the company’s earnings call, executives said Costco expects to have 28 net new openings in its current fiscal year, and is targeting 30-plus new opening annually in the “coming years.”
Costco currently operates 924 warehouses, including 634 in the United States and Puerto Rico, 114 in Canada, 42 in Mexico, 37 in Japan, 29 in the United Kingdom, 20 in Korea, 15 in Australia, 14 in Taiwan, seven in China, five in Spain, three in France, two in Sweden, and one each in Iceland, and New Zealand.
Costco also operates e-commerce sites in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Mexico, Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Australia.
(And we have one of our very own, here in Shoreline!)Costco will open its first stand-alone gas station in Mission Viejo, Calif., reported USA Today, on the site of a former Bed Bath & Beyond store. The 40-pump station will be Costco’s first fuel station that is not co-located with one of its stores. Similar to the retailer’s other gas stations, it will be open only to Costco members.
A second standalone Costco gas station is planned for Honolulu, the report said. It is slated to open in 2027.

Rob Oxford: Just Call Me Weirdo
By Rob Oxford
The word “weirdo” came about in the 1970’s as a derogatory term to describe someone who was unconventional or eccentric. It was reclaimed in 2022 by a group of Seattle friends in an effort to celebrate the years 1985 – 1995 here in the Pacific Northwest.
 |
| The Weirdo logo |
Embracing the title as a badge of honor, musicians, poets, painters, photographers, DJs, sound engineers, record promoters, bouncers and even bartenders from that era can now proudly consider themselves "Weirdos", myself included.
“As Many Weirdos As Possible” has been a collaborative effort spearheaded by Rachel Crick.
While suffering from a serious illness, Rachel began to consider her own legacy. What memories and experiences from those years could she share with her young daughter? She began to think about the importance of preserving the stories of people in her life who were still here to tell them.
 |
| Rachel Crick and her Weirdo Friends |
Her initial intention was to merely reconnect with old friends, colleagues and former coworkers who had drifted apart. What developed is a Non-Profit and a visually stunning and informative multimedia project.
Whether those friends had started families, changed careers, moved out of the area or sadly passed away. Their memories and mark on our community have now been preserved for generations to enjoy.
Through photography and their own hand-written accounts, over 300 participants have contributed to this project. Recounting experiences during a time when unbeknownst to them, Seattle cultural history was being made.
Along with Rachel and Co-Founder Pamela Houle, artist Rosetta Greek and photographers Chris Pugh, Charles Peterson and Lance Mercer, have carefully preserved this significant period in time. Archiving the personal stories of the people who lived it.
 |
| Chris Ballew - PUSA/Caspar Babypants |
Graphic Designers like Art Chantry, who designed some of the most iconic album covers and event posters of the day jumped on board. Lending their expertise and in Art’s case, coming up with the project's name…“As Many Weirdos As Possible”.

For anyone familiar with the movie “Singles”, written, co-produced, directed and filmed in Seattle. The Ok Hotel was the location of the scene starring actor Matt Dillon and his fictional band Citizen Dick, featuring Pearl Jam members Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament.

This comprehensive celebration of Seattle’s cultural footprint also features legendary record producer, engineer and musician Jack Endino. “The guy in the engine room during the early voyages of the Battleship Grunge”.
Tribute is also paid to influential publications like the Rocket and its Editor, Charles R. Cross who left us in 2024. A lifeline to current happenings, the Rocket was the voice of a generation and instrumental for not only it’s political opinion, but its advertising and promotion of Seattle's arts and music scene.
The website As Many Weirdos As Possible — Poser Productions describes in significant detail what these “Weirdos” and so many more have contributed to the cause. I highly suggest watching the short video contained within to get a better idea of Poser Productions ongoing mission.
With the idea of also publishing a coffee table book, events like the upcoming As Many Weirdos As Possible | Town Hall Seattle on April 17, 2026 will help turn this dream into a reality.
All weirdos are cordially invited to attend and if so inclined, donate to this worthy cause.

They are expected to be restored around 4am.

90 locals get sign-waving 'practice' in before nationwide No Kings event on Saturday March 28, 2026
By Pamela Mieth
A chorus of appreciative horn honks drowned out the lone passenger leaning out a pick-up truck window to shout support for ICE activities (reportedly soon to be making lines longer at airports) greeted a steady crowd of 90 sign-wavers Sunday at the Shoreline-Edmonds line.
Activities include guest speakers and action tables, a march and sign-waving lining the park along Aurora, children's activities and a mini-parade for kids, Dance for Justice demos, a food/toiletries/pet food donation drive, and more.
Please note rally's different day and location than regular sign-waving events. There will be no regular Sunday sign-waving on March 29.
Local organizing group Everyday Activists says Social Justice Sunday sign-wavings at the intersection of Aurora Ave N and N 205th St will resume April 5, 1-2pm, and are scheduled for every Sunday in April.
