The Echo Lake Neighborhood Association (ELNA) held its annual Frolic at the Lake on Thursday, August 19, 2021. The neighborhood event is held in Echo Lake Park and everyone was invited.

The Interurban Trail runs through the park so people were able to walk to the event - or discover it as they walked the Trail. The lake was reopened that morning after being closed for a high bacterial count, so a few people arrived on paddleboards.

The Mark Ellis Trio entertained with music. The Shorewood - Shorecrest Robotics team brought two robots and explained them to a fascinated audience. The City of Shoreline was there with recycling information and coloring pages for the kids.

Food trucks Yummy Catch and Sweet Wheels
