Destination Shoreline Featured Events of the Week:
 
Fix-It Night at the Shoreline Tool Library
Wednesday, September 17 
5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Shoreline Tool Library
It’s time to start collecting all those items around the house that need to be fixed but you don’t know how. We are hosting a repair night at the Shoreline Tool Library. We will help you fix and learn to fix your broken tools, lamps, toys, furniture, appliances, and any other broken items that you can carry on your own. We encourage you to help as much as you can and enjoy the community of reuse! If you are excited about fixing and want to help out with this event or other fixing opportunities, we are looking for more fixers. Sign up to help out at this event here or join our list of fixers by sending us an email at ShorelineTL@seattlereconomy.org.

Gordon Braun at Ridgecrest Books

If you're a longtime Shoreline resident, you might recognize the Shoreline represented in Gordon Braun's memoir, "The Boy From a Town That Isn't Even a Town." Each chapter ends with headlines from Gordon's paper route around the neighborhood. This will be an afternoon filled with fun and nostalgia for the town that we all love. Gordon Braun is a retired business executive, consultant, teacher, and coach. He attended Shoreline public schools and earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Washington. "The Boy From a Town That Isn't Even a Town" is his first published work.
