There goes the neighborhood…
I'm sure an assisted living facility is needed in the area, but sad to see the array of small businesses pushed out that helped make that part of Shoreline a more livable, enjoyable and "walkable" neighborhood.
You left out the Mountlake Terrace Post Office: 23210 57TH AVE W
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, WA 98043-9998

I am so disappointed to lose what used to be our Richmond Highland neighborhood hub to an out of scale commercial building. There are so few small businesses in the sprawl that is Shoreline and many of us loved the Beach House and auxiliary PO, as well as the Santa Fe restaurant nearby. I fear more traffic congestion on RB Road, as it is I have a difficult time turning out of the QFC parking lot and have to take a longer route to 3RD Ave NW. A sad resident.
What about the dry cleaners there?
The city could have prevented this. They could have required ground floor retail at least, but were too cheap to do a sub area plan or purchase land to have more control of what happens to it. We are already upset about the poor design of Town and Country/Sears development with strip mall feel. Add the poor design by the light rail station that could have had a pretty town center with restaurants, walking paths, etc, but instead a two lane thoroughfare on 185th and lots of new 24 plexes without thinking of a road to support it. Edmonds gets the Beach House Greetings (so glad owner won’t have to deal with this developer anymore or this city council and we can still support her) and everything else that is wonderful. Shoreline gets 24 plexes, high taxes, no style, ugly blue directional signs instead of flower baskets, the wild horse tavern that remains empty for 15 years, a closed rite aid, a closed pizza restaurant, a closed corner store with delayed permits, a kidney clinic and now a nursing home on the main corner of RB. While we are at it, let’s mention the unqualified landscape replacement team who chop trees and let thousands of dollars of plants die at the parks. And last but not least the chip seal on roads and black tar lines they waste their time with when it barely preserves road, but also looks tacky! Vote the WHOLE city council out and find leaders who listen, care about bringing business and supporting community, and have vision beyond creating another Lynnwood. We can have development and nature at the same time. Let’s think outside the box.
Anon 7:23 _ the dry cleaners remain
Thank you!
It’s hard to vote the council out when many positions are uncontested.
You have addressed so many complaints that I have as a resident and business owner. We aren’t doing a very good job of building for the future or preserving what little our neighborhoods have. Not to mention our lack of a swimming facility that private clubs or other towns have to pick up the slack for. We spend a lot of money in Edmonds, and while I love being there, I’d like the option to spend it where I live and support my neighbors.
Yet the city also identified this area as a city center hub (Wells Fargo is the approximate center and anything in 1/2 mile radius of this is zoned high density. So it’s zoned high density for apparently more housing and less retail? We also lost Rite Aid - does anyone know what will be going there? More walkable retail would be much preferred. I wish the senior living building had plans for retail on the bottom floor.
If the salon hasn't already found a new home, perhaps they could move into part of the former Rite Aid building. The Santa Fe Mexican Grill could move into the other part.
