Work is progressing on the Public Works Operations Center (PWOC) near NE 202nd St and 66th Ave NE, just south of Kenmore Middle School in Kenmore.
 |
| 50 percent of the geothermal wells are complete Photo by Gordon Snyder |
Designed with sustainable features including geothermal heating and cooling, the project reached a major milestone this week with 50 percent of the geothermal wells completed.
 |
| Photo by Gordon Snyder |
The system includes 18 wells drilled more than 300 feet deep, each containing a U-shaped tube nearly the height of a 30-story building that captures the earth’s natural heat to warm and cool the facility.
All wells are expected to be completed by the end of February, with full construction anticipated to wrap up in 2027.
When complete, the PWOC will provide modern, consolidated facilities designed to better support the community’s growing infrastructure needs.
"We Burned So Bright" author TJ Klune in person at Third Place Books May 4, 2026 - ticketed event
Monday, May 4 at 7pm
Third Place Books at Lake Forest Park
17171 Bothell Way NE A200, Lake Forest Park, WA
Third Place Books welcomes bestselling author TJ Klune back to the stage for a conversation about his new standalone novel We Burned So Bright—a story following a long-married gay couple crossing the country on a last-hurrah road trip before a rogue black hole swallows the earth.
TJ is joined in conversation by Third Place Books assistant events manager Milo Michels.
All tickets come with a copy of the featured book!
Purchase tickets here About We Burned So Bright. . .
A heart-wrenching standalone novel by #1 NYT bestselling author TJ Klune, We Burned So Bright follows an older queer couple on an end-of-the-world road-trip.
The road stretched out before them. No other cars, just the headlights on the blacktop. Above, the cracked moon in a kaleidoscope sky….
Husbands Don and Rodney have lived a good long life. Together they’ve experienced the highest highs of love and family, and lows so low that they felt like the end of the world.
Now, the world is ending for real. A wandering black hole is coming for Earth and in a month everything and everyone they’ve ever known will be gone.
Suddenly, after 40 years together, Don and Rodney are out of time. They’re in a race against the clock to make it from Maine to Washington State to take care of some unfinished business before it’s all over.
On the road they meet those who refuse to believe death is coming and those who rush to meet it. But there are also people living their final days as best they know how—impromptu weddings, bright burning bonfires, shared meals, and new friends.
And as the black hole draws near, among ball lightning and under a cracked moon in a kaleidoscope sky, Don and Rodney will look back on their lives and ask if their best was good enough.
Is it enough to burn bright if nothing comes from the ashes?

FIFA World Cup soccer is coming to Seattle: What will that mean for Shoreline?
Six matches are scheduled from June 15 - July 6, 2026.
Tickets are selling on the official site for $1600 - $2100 per seat.
750,000 world visitors are expected to attend one or more of the matches in the U.S. and Canada.
Nearby, in Vancouver, B.C. tickets at BC Place Stadium are going for $500-600. Will those world visitors to Seattle hop on the train to get to Canada?
Where are they going to sleep? Seattle doesn't have that many hotel rooms. Will people come to Shoreline on the light rail for Airbnb accommodations? If they are sleeping here, where will they eat?
What about traffic? Policing?

In the Garden Now: Witch Hazel

By Victoria Gilleland
We're so fortunate that we can grow beautiful winter blooming witch hazel shrubs in our gardens. Two of my favorites have been in bloom for many weeks. Prior to their winter bloom time these large shrubs produce bright orange, red and yellow fall foliage.
 |
| Witch Hazel "Diane" Photo by Victoria Gilleland |
Witch Hazel flowers begin to blossom in fall and are in full color through the darkest days of winter. Blossoms are made up of narrow crumpled petals that look a whole lot like spiders to me. They're great fun to come upon in the winter garden!
'Arnold Promise' has rich golden yellow blossoms that line the branches and can play a starring role in the winter garden.
'Diane' has dark red or copper colored flowers that are more subtle. If grown with another witch hazel variety with yellow or golden blossoms 'Diane' truly stands out!
Arnold and Diane are a lovely duo!

Update: Suni's Restaurant thrives in new location
 |
| Suni's Express expanded to the street |
Story and Photos by David Carlos
 |
| Suni's now has bright and spacious indoor seating |
After the longtime North City/Shoreline spot at 17751 15th Ave NE burned down, there has been no rebuilding at the original site. Instead, Suni’s Express opened across the street in 2024 — and business has only grown.
 |
| Suni's interior |
Last August, the restaurant expanded into the adjacent space that once housed Brown’s Coffee. An employee told me the owner has invested so much into the current location that they now plan to stay long-term.
The former property? It has since been sold.
As for what’s drawing customers in, the employee said their top sellers are pizza and The Famous Suni’s Burger — a ¼-pound burger topped with lean bacon strips, melted cheese, lettuce, onions, tomato and mayonnaise.
Sounds like a cheeseburger in paradise to me.

Shoreline Public Art: Juneteenth Mural Series
 |

In recognition of Black history month, Shoreline Public Art is proud to highlight the Juneteenth mural series created by Myron Curry and Vincent Keele. The first year of the series also included assistance from Cynncear.
Curry and Keele are artists whose work centers African American history, lived experience, and cultural legacy. Through this four-year mural series, they have brought bold visual storytelling into Shoreline’s civic landscape, using color, symbolism, and portraiture to invite reflection and dialogue.
Installed along Midvale Avenue, directly across from the Park at Town Center, the murals honor June 19, 1865, the day enslaved African Americans in Texas were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Across the series, the artists highlight themes of liberation, resilience, cultural pride, and collective progress.
The murals feature influential historical figures including Ida B. Wells and Booker T. Washington, connecting the commemoration of emancipation to the broader history of leadership, advocacy, and education within Black communities.
The final mural in the series, "The Future Is Ours", reflects the artists’ forward-looking vision, emphasizing hope, self-determination, and the responsibility of future generations to continue the work of justice and community building.
Through their creative leadership, Curry and Keele have helped shape how Juneteenth is recognized and experienced in Shoreline. We are honored to steward these works as part of the City’s public art collection.
SAVE THE DATE: Shoreline Juneteenth Celebration, Friday, June 19, 2026 from 2 to 6pm.

Local business World Cup readiness in Shoreline
The 2026 FIFA World Cup™ is expected to generate an estimated $929 million in economic activity across King County, presenting an unprecedented opportunity for our region’s diverse communities to connect through a shared love of “the beautiful game.”
As Shoreline prepares to welcome visitors from around the globe, local partnerships are already mobilizing to ensure our business community is ready to maximize the moment.
The City of Shoreline, in partnership with the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce, The Data Guys™, and the Seattle Metro Chamber, is working collaboratively to gather tools, insights, and resources designed to support Shoreline businesses in their World Cup readiness efforts.
If you own a business or represent a local organization interested in preparation resources or are considering hosting a World Cup watch party, there are several ways to get involved:
2026 Business Readiness Survey
Local business owners are encouraged to complete the Shoreline Local Business Readiness Survey by March 31, 2026. This survey helps regional organizers better understand how businesses are preparing and what support may be most beneficial.
Participation is especially valuable for restaurants, retailers, hospitality operators, service providers, and corridor-based businesses looking to be proactive not reactive. The survey is also available in Amharic, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Vietnamese, making sure it’s accessible to Shoreline’s diverse business community.
Businesses who complete the survey will be connected to targeted resources and free technical assistance based on their readiness needs.
Survey responses are confidential and only shared in aggregated form locally to build custom dashboards, allowing partners to move beyond general readiness conversations into actionable preparation, tracking economic impact, and understanding the flow of World Cup-related spending within our community.
