What’s Happening This Week in Shoreline? – May 6 -12
Spring is in full bloom across Shoreline, and this week brings a thoughtful mix of ways to celebrate,
connect, and give back. From creative, sustainable Mother’s Day experiences and vibrant plant sales to
community-driven events like the Pack the Park 5K and opening day of the Lake Forest Park Farmers
Market, there’s something for every pace and interest.
Celebrating Mother’s Day in Shoreline:
Drop in during store hours through Saturday, May 9th! Celebrate Mom by Reclaiming Creativity! Join us at
Salvation for a hands-on crafting experience. Pick an upcycled container, add your personal touch with our
paint markers, and finish it off with a beautiful plant and clean soil. It’s a sustainable, heartfelt gift
designed to last for years. Whether you are crafting solo or sharing the experience with another adult, it’s
the perfect way to tap into your creative side.
Cost: $10 per plant, Ages: Fun for all ages! (Kids must be accompanied by an adult)
May 8-10 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Kruckeberg Botanic Garden
Enjoy our selection of native trees and shrubs, ferns, woodland ephemerals, bulbs, houseplants, and much
more!
Destination Shoreline’s Must-Attend Event of the Week:
Saturday, May 9 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, Pfingst Animal Acres Park
For 10 years, our community has shown up in a big way—neighbors, families, and friends coming together to
move with purpose and make a real impact. Food insecurity is rising. More local families are struggling to
put healthy meals on the table. But together, we can change that. Pack the Park isn’t just a run—it’s a
movement. A fun, family-friendly event where every step you take helps provide food and support to kids and
families right here in our community.
Sunday, May 10 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM, Lake Forest Park Farmers Market
Celebrate Opening Day AND Mother's Day with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and all the fresh produce and
treats the Market has to offer. We’re excited to welcome back your favorite farmers, growers, and makers -
and enjoy something new each week with our rotating craft vendors!
Sunday, May 10 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM, Shoreline College Theater
Sometimes tragic, sometimes humorous, always deeply human, this story reminds us that behind every empire
